Igniting Feminism: Theory Action
Keynote Lecture, Friday, April 20
"Bringing Power to US Social Justice Movements and Rebuilding Feminism:
We Need a Radical Change"
with Dawn Lundy Martin, co-founder of Third Wave Foundation
Call for Proposals
Igniting Feminism: Theory Action
The focus this year is to re-ignite our collective visions and actions within the feminist movement, both in the academy and beyond. In order to build more connections, allies, and conversations in this endeavor, there are three related but distinct tracks* for the conference: 1) gender & violence; 2) teaching for social justice; and 3) queer theory & activism. Each track offers space for exploring feminist/queer theory and practice; by bringing them together, they point us towards new feminist and queer alliances for socially just change. In order to deepen the dialogue at the conference, we encourage faculty and students plus WRC staff, QRC staff, and other student affairs professionals to apply. We hope all will attend!
*Please find more information about the distinct tracks in the email attachment or at our websitehttps://sites.google.com/a/pdx.edu/nw-wsa-conference/.
Who Should Apply: Faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students, and student affairs professionals from two and four year institutions are welcome to apply.
Format: Proposals can be 15-20 minute individual presentations; 60-minute panels of presenters; 60-minute roundtable discussions; or 60-minute facilitated workshops.
How to Apply: Provide the following information:
1. Title of your talk/panel/roundtable/workshop
2. Name, institutional affiliation, brief bio statement, and contact information for each participant
3. Indicate the track you've selected and a brief explanation of how your work relates to the track
4. What will be covered in your presentations/panel/roundtable/workshop (250-500 words)
