Co-Sponsor: Central Pacific Conference of the UCC

March 15-17, 2002.

Keynote Address:

Dr. Mary Daly; "The Burning Times Revisited--Rekindling the fire of Radical Ecological Feminism"

Respondents: panel of women from a variety of religions and/or spiritualities

Pacific University's Feminist Studies Program is sponsoring an open conference on female spirituality. Our goal is to create an opportunity to approach an understanding of female spirituality through a variety of discourses and by encouraging dialogue among a wide range of belief, religious, and spiritual systems. Central to the work of the conference is creating and sustaining a radically ecumenical forum for the exploration and development of ideas about female spirituality and its expression. Given the diversity we hope to explore, we are interested in presenting work from a variety of traditions: depending on your medium, send a one-page abstract for academic papers, no more than three slides for art work (two- and 3 three-dimensional), no more than three poems (any form, any tradition), or up to five pages of short fiction, memoir, or personal essay for the program committee's review.

Due November 30, 2001 (extended from Oct. 31).
