Calling "Architects of Beauty"
FOR THE 11th MEETING OF THE IRIGARAY CIRCLE:

​Thresholds of Difference
​
June 19-21, 2020
​
Mercer University, Atlanta, GA, USA

The 2020 Irigaray Circle Meeting: Thresholds of Difference, is pleased to be holding its 11th meeting June 19-21 in Atlanta, Georgia.

In keeping with its previous conferences, the Circle seeks to generate new possibilities for thinking sexual difference by honoring and supporting interdisciplinarity and the multiple research trajectories, methods and projects inspired by Irigaray’s thought. The 2020 meeting affords an occasion to introduce those with shared concerns to Irigaray’s work and to revisit that work from other perspectives.
