Women in French Conference
May 7–9, 2026
James Madison University
Harrisonburg, VA
The conference theme “Visible and Invisible Transgressions” explores the dynamics of transgression in various forms and contexts. It seeks to examine acts that challenge boundaries, norms, and taboos, both as “public and hidden transcripts” (James Scott, 1990). It invites discussions on the perceptions, representations, and regulations of transgression. The conference aims to delve into the different layers of transgression and its prospects in various social and political structures, which include but are not limited to any work of art involving power dynamics.
