Announcing the 34th annual interdisciplinary Wisconsin Women’s Studies and 5th annual UW System LGBTQ Conference
"Leadership and Collaboration in Shaping the Future: The Intersections of Gender, Race, Ethnicity and Sexuality”
April 16-17, 2010
Proposals due date EXTENDED to October 30, 2009
UW-Whitewater
Bringing together academics, teachers, students, community leaders, activists, and others, the gathering is co-sponsored by the UW-Whitewater Women's Studies Program and three UW System offices: the Women’s Studies Consortium; the Institute on Race and Ethnicity; and the Inclusivity Initiative.
The conference organizers seek proposals addressing research, scholarship, program development, pedagogy, curriculum, and/or community activism in the fields of Women’s, Racial/Ethnic, and LGBTQ Studies. A general focus on intersecting diversity issues and identities, as well as emerging and effective educational and organizational practices/processes, is encouraged. Best practices and case studies suitable for replication (or to be avoided) are especially welcome, especially as they relate to the educational advancement of our students and to the fields of Women’s Studies, Racial/Ethnic Studies, LGBTQ Studies and/or Disability Studies. Presentations that represent approaches to topics which are collaborative, cooperative, diverse, interdisciplinary, and intergenerational are encouraged.
