Indeterminate States: Bodies, Fields, Praxis
George Washington University, Washington DC USA
June 25-29, 2025 Conference
The 2025 DSA conference will be held in Washington, D.C. This return to the United States after three years will come at a critical juncture: it will arrive in the wake of a contested presidential election as well as uprisings and conflicts across the globe. The District of Columbia represents the country’s multinational operations and global engagements both symbolically (through its architecture and monuments) and in practice (through the work of foreign embassies, government agencies, and nongovernmental organizations). Against this backdrop of political authority, the District itself remains in an indeterminate state: international and local, transient and residential, the nation’s capital yet itself stateless. The city maintains deep historical, cultural, and community legacies under its national monuments, whose narratives remain open to contestation.
