- **Event Name**: Thinking Gender 2026 Graduate Student Research Conference
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 am – Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Thinking Gender 2026 explores the theme “Feminist and Queer Ecologies."About this Event“Feminist and Queer Ecologies,” explores how environments and ecologies are shaped, understood, and contested through relations of sex, gender, and sexuality. The theme also considers how feminist and queer theorists, artists, and organizers have drawn on ecological processes and environmental knowledge to build new insights, movements, and practices.Join us for graduate student presentations highlighting innovative research at the intersections of gender, sexuality, environment, and justice. The conference will feature keynote speaker Cutcha Rising Baldy (Cal Poly Humboldt; NAS Rou Dalagurr Food Sovereignty Lab &amp; Traditional Ecological Knowledges Institute), whose work centers Indigenous feminisms, land relations, and food sovereignty.Gendered and colonial ideas of wilderness, domesticity, and reproduction have historically shaped landscapes and environmental policy. At the same time, feminist and queer methodologies—from place-based storytelling to multimodal practice—offer critical tools for climate resilience, environmental justice, and community well-being. Around the world, social movements resisting environmental injustice—from Standing Rock to Flint, from the Everglades to rural India—have been led by women and gender-expansive people. Climate change and climate justice continue to affect communities differentially along lines of gender, sexuality, race, and class, revealing how struggles for ecological flourishing are inseparable from feminist and queer justice.Feminist and queer ecologies demand multidisciplinary collaboration. This year’s theme invites environmental scientists, humanists, social scientists, artists, organizers, and practitioners to come together across methods, disciplines, temporalities, species, and geographies. It encourages experimentation with scientific inquiry, ethnography, storytelling, political theory, environmental history, modeling, and other forms of knowledge-making and truth-telling.Conference Cosponsors African American Studies DepartmentAmerican Indian Studies DepartmentAsian American Studies CenterAsian American Studies DepartmentBixby Center on Population and Reproductive HealthCenter for Community EngagementCenter for the Study of Racism, Social Justice &amp; HealthChicana/o and Central American Studies DepartmentChicano Studies Research CenterCritical Race Studies Program (Law)Department of GeographyDisability StudiesEnglish DepartmentGender Studies DepartmentGraduate DivisionHumanities DivisionInformation Studies DepartmentInstitute of American CulturesInstitute of Society and GeneticsInstitute of the Environment and SustainabilityInstitute on Inequality and Democracy at UCLA LuskinInternational InstituteIris Cantor Women’s Health CenterLaboratory for Environmental Narrative StrategiesLGBTQ Campus Resource CenterLGBTQ Studies ProgramLuskin Center for InnovationRalph J.
