California University of Pennsylvania's Women's Studies Program is holding its second annual all-day conference on March 22nd, 2007. This year’s theme is “Women and Work: Changing Economic Influences on Families”. Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, best selling author of One Woman’s Army: The Commanding General of Abu Ghraib Tells Her Story, will be our keynote speaker and discuss the impact of military life on the women who serve and their families. We will also have a statewide art contest and exhibition. Although papers on all topics of women’s lives are welcome, our focus will be on the ways in which changes in the workplace are and have affected women and their families in the United States and abroad. Our hope is to bring together scholars employing a variety of approaches to understand systems of patriarchy, inequality, and the experiences of women around the world, past and present. We are especially interested in scholarship examining connections between ideas of women’s “proper” role in the workforce and at home and the socially constructed nature of the “proper” family, especially as these expectations place women in a double bind. Therefore, we encourage contributions from scholars of diverse disciplines and all levels. Panel submissions, roundtables, and individual abstracts are welcome. California University of Pennsylvania is located about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh. Please send a proposal (300 words or less) and a C.V. or resume. Please address all queries, submissions, and abstracts to Dr. Andrae Marak / marak@cup.edu / Chair, Audrey-Beth Fitch Conference on Women’s Studies /Women Studies Program, Box 6 /California University of Pennsylvania/California, PA 15419. The deadline for submissions is January 15, 2007.
