Call For Proposals
Joint Women's Studies & LGBTQ Conference
April 16-17, 2010
James R. Connor University Center, UW-Whitewater
“Leadership and Collaboration in Shaping the Future:
The Intersections of Gender, Race, Ethnicity and Sexuality”
Proposals are due by the October 23, 2009 deadline. The Conference Planning Committee will be evaluating proposals immediately following the deadline and decisions will be communicated in early January 2010.
On April 16-17, 2010, the UW-Whitewater Women’s Studies Program will be hosting the 34th annual Wisconsin Women’s Studies and 5th annual UW System LGBTQ Conference, bringing together academics, teachers, students, community leaders, activists, and others. The gathering is being co-sponsored by 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, Racial/Ethnic, and LGBTQ Studies. We particularly encourage panels that represent approaches to topics which are collaborative, cooperative, diverse, interdisciplinary, and intergenerational.
Please use the on-line submission form below if possible. If you are not able to use the on-line form, you may download this proposal form as a Word document (Proposal Form) and return it as an e-mail attachment to wscoffice@uwsa.edu.
