This year we are delighted to offer an additional thread

Intersections of Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Sexuality.

Plan to join us and participate in sessions addressing Women’s and Gender Studies and LGBTQ Research, Scholarship, Program Development, Pedagogy, Teaching, and Activism. As usual, there will be a general focus on intersecting diversity issues and identities. Presentations will be offered on educational and organizational practices/processes emerging as effective strategies and models for success, as well as best practices and case studies suitable for replication, particularly as they relate to collaborative and cooperative strategies for Women’s and Gender Studies and LGBTQ educational advancement

Highlights will include:
The 2009 P.B. Poorman Award
