California University of Pennsylvania’s Women’s Studies Program is holding a two-day conference from March 23-24, 2006. Although we are going to examine the many facets of women’s lives in diverse cultural contexts, our focus will be on the ways in which women are placed in jeopardy. Our hope is to bring together scholars employing a variety of approaches to understand systems of patriarchy, inequality, and the experience of women around the world. We are especially interested in scholarship examining connections between the developed and the developing world. Therefore, we encourage contributions from scholars of diverse disciplines and all levels. Panel submissions and individual abstracts are welcome. Please address all queries to fitch@cup.edu or marak@cup.edu, and send submissions and abstracts to Drs. Audrey-Beth Fitch and Andrae Marak/Co-chairs, Conference on Women at Risk/Department of History and Political Science/California University of Pennsylvania/California, PA 15419. The deadline is November 1, 2005.
