Intersections |Cross-Sections Graduate Conference

The Intersections | Cross-Sections Conference is an interdisciplinary conference organized by and for graduate student scholars, artists and activists through the organizing efforts of the Communication and Culture Graduate Students Association (GSA). This year's conference will take place on March 14, 2025 at the TMU Catalyst in the Rogers Communication Centre

The theme of this year’s conference is “Interrogating the Lifeworld”, which encourages submissions that interrogate lived experiences and the social construction of the world around us; how we work within and against different social, cultural, political, and/or economic dimensions of everyday life; and how we might challenge or resist the assumptions that underpin society as a whole. We especially welcome submissions that investigate critical futures and ways of being, as we currently exist in a precarious temporal moment rife with geopolitical conflicts across borders.

We are looking forward to a day full of learning and exploration. We welcome all graduate students, artists, filmmakers, photographers, musicians, and more from diverse backgrounds to submit proposals. IS|CS values a wide range of perspectives and accordingly, we hope to provide an equitable, inclusive, and comfortable space for people from all walks of life to engage in cross-disciplinary discussion and creative exhibition. If you have any questions or concerns about the conference’s theme or format, please do not hesitate to reach out via email.
