In the production of an American national identity, those who did not fit within the parameters of whiteness, maleness, heterosexuality, or legally recognizable citizenship became illegal while those who miss all categories but have legal citizenship become alien. This conference seeks to explore how certain bodies become coded as alien citizens within the space of the academy, how those alien citizens contest epistemological violence, and how the academy can be used as “exploitable political space,” a space that “calls attention to how curricula that universalize the values and norms of a ‘common’ national culture are in contradiction with...society (Lowe).
