The [CTRL] Controlling Bodies/Controlling Spaces conference is a timely intervention which aims to foster critical dialogue interrogating emergent modes and methods of control and their impact on individuals, institutions and intellectual thought.  Bringing together graduate students and faculty [CTRL] aims to create a space for discussion across disciplines and between established and new researchers.  As the theme of the conference traverses the humanities and social sciences, paper presentations will address notions of control from a diversity of theoretical and methodological perspectives.

Hosted at McGill’s Thompson House, [CTRL] will be an intimate conference, running no more than two concurrent sessions and providing in-house luncheons to encourage less formal dialogues and exchanges among conference participants. Our keynote address is scheduled on the first evening preceding a performance showcase. This format has been designed to open the space for dynamic participation among presenters and attendees.

In an effort to ensure further discussion on the subject of control, selected papers from the conference will be published. The Graduate Researcher —an interdisciplinary, peer review, print journal out of Montreal—has offered to devote an issue of the journal to the conference proceedings.
