Feminism Here & Now – An Interdisciplinary Conversation

This Conference seeks to spark a critical conversation about what feminist praxis may look like in the first half of the 21st century and what role feminism may continue to play in critiquing and intervening in a broad range of social, cultural, and political issues. The conference will highlight cutting edge research from faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students. Undergraduate and Graduate students from all disciplines are invited to submit abstracts and panels by September 15, 2015. The conference is free and open to all, but all attendees must register in advance. Registration opens on September 1.
