“In 2024, we are surrounded by crisis in nearly every sector of our world(s): environmental, political, social, cultural, and interpersonal.” Thus begins a call for submissions for MIT’s March 2025 Gender, Culture, Women, and Sexuality conference on Liberatory Practices.

Never let a crisis go to waste is the key to overcoming obstacles blocking social revolution. Now is the time to plunge a dagger into the heart of the colonialist cisheteronormative patriarchy. No one is better positioned to make this happen than the leading activist training program at MIT’s School of Humanities, Arts, and Socialist Scientism.

“What is the meaning and purpose of “liberatory practices” in the historical and contemporary world? How do Indigenous, feminist, queer, trans, disability or other lenses offer alternative understandings of crisis? What world is possible after a crisis?”

Imagine a world cleansed of deplorable straight white males ruled by nonbinary two-spirit polyamorous illiterate hunter gatherers imbued with the ancient wisdom of indigenous peoples whose societies collapsed, leaving them with nothing but a few casinos to console themselves.

“All proposals must be submitted at https://tinyurl.com/2025CFPsubmissions by October 30, 2024. Past projects included dance, theatrical works, visual arts, film screenings, workshops, interactive activities, and mixed media presentations.”
