September 14-16, 2021

Brunel University London (UK)

Deadline: July 26, 2021

In 2015 we held  Kimposium! to great success. Now, as Keeping Up with the Kardashians draws to a close after twenty seasons, we revisit and renew our feminist thinking about these globally famous women. Renowned and reviled, loved and hated, the Kardashians are icons of early 21st century celebrity cultures. But this family represents and embodies so much more. Indeed, studying the Kardashians and their products leads to consideration of some of the most pressing social and cultural issues of our time.

Please submit your proposals of less than 300 words by 26 July 2021 to kimposium@brunel.ac.uk
