Conference Creatures: An Experiment in Feminist New Materialist Praxis

Hannah Locher ; Olivia Rowland

Abstract

This webtext invites audiences to engage with Conference Creatures, an experiment in feminist new materialist praxis in which the authors create and distribute crochet creatures at academic conferences. Through photos, videos, and interactive elements, we demonstrate how Conference Creatures enacts non-extractive forms of networking that move our professional spaces toward relational praxes of belonging in academia, particularly for graduate students and junior scholars.
