The return of the embodied subject as a site generative of analytical
force and explanatory power in fields of inquiry throughout the...

...construction of biographical subjects while theorizing problems that
arise from the conjuncture of individual figures moving across space
and time; the presumptions of history as a discipline; and/or the
limits and blind spots of feminist inquiry as it has been practiced in
the academy. We are especially keen to receive submissions from
scholars residing outside Euro-America and/or interrogating the limits
of the western historical canon.

There's a paradox here, certainly. On the one hand, nobody could make
this stuff up; on the other, anyone trying to write it seriously would
fall apart laughing after the first sentence and be unable to continue.
So, it must have been written at gun point. David Horowitz is right:
terrorists have taken over the Academy.
