"HOME: A Visual Studies Conference,"
will provide a forum for a critical interrogation of “home” as concept, ideology, physical structure, and object of representation.

Our hope is to bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines to query how “home” structures public and private processes of meaning formation, self-fashioning, and political contestation.
