Invitation & Call for Submissions

This is What Feminist Research Looks Like
: Graduate Research Conference 2012

Penn State University, March 24, 2012
Bank of America Career Services Building (8:30am-7pm)

The Women’s Studies Graduate Organization at The Pennsylvania State University seeks submissions regarding work on any aspect of Feminist Research. As we think about and inquire what Feminist Research looks like, we hope that diverse ways of asking and answering feminist questions will come together and form a collective voice in not only written and spoken languages but also through languages and expressions of art, poetry, photography, performances, collaborative efforts, and alternative media presentations (please let us know of any resources necessary for accommodating your project).

We encourage graduate and undergraduate students from all disciplines to share papers, proposals, reviews, critiques, ideas and projects, which might address and ask questions of any gender and power issues, but are not limited to:

~ Identity & Representation
~ Using Feminist Theories and Methodologies in your discipline
~ Sexualities
~ Queer Theory
~ Masculinities & Men's Studies

~ Girlhood Studies
~ (Dis)ability
~ Fat Studies
~ Postcolonial and Transnational Feminisms
~ Environmental issues & Ecofeminism

If you are interested in having your work considered for this
conference, please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words to
WSGO.officers@gmail.com by FEBRUARY 28TH, 2012.

If you are interested in sharing your art at the conference's feminist art exhibit, please fill in and submit the art exhibit form to WSGO.officers@gmail.com by MARCH 1ST, 2012.

We also welcome submissions of complete sessions of 3-4 papers on a common theme, panel discussions, or other formats. If you have questions regarding the conference, please contact us at:
