The WGSS Department is thrilled to host Made to Measure, our first graduate conference in several years! Please join us April 2-3, 2026 for a two-day conference gathered around the theme of measurement - as it is deployed with and against colonial, imperial, and capitalist desires, in regimes of order and valuation always haunted by their excesses. Along will several panels featuring the work of graduate and undergraduate students, Made to Measure also presents a keynote address by Dr. Manu Karuka and hands-on crafting workshop by Dr. Brittney Cooper of the Race and Gender Equity (RAGE) Lab.
