The Central Connecticut State University Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies Program 20th Anniversary Conference & Celebration welcomes proposals for papers or panels from faculty, independent scholars, graduate students, and senior undergraduate students (supervised by professors) for the June Baker Higgins Gender Studies Conference May 7-9, 2010. This year’s theme is on facets of “Being 20,” in keeping with CCSU’s celebration of twenty years of having a Women’s Studies (now Women, Gender and Sexualities Studies) program!
We encourage innovative and creative ways of approaching the theme. Examples of topics may include: struggles, economics, injustices, globalization, changes, aging, rights, conflicts, innovations, cultures, concerns, laws, sexualities, creative works, bodies, solutions, movements, strategies, leaders, or age, and some aspect of “Being 20.” Topics that do not fit within the theme of the conference, but which are of general relevance to Women, Gender and/or Sexuality are welcomed, but preference will be given to panels and papers that address this year’s theme. Abstracts for papers or panels, poster sessions, or short films may be submitted immediately to Cynthia Pope at popec@mail.ccsu.edu. An electronic submission form is available at:
http://www.ccsu.edu/page.cfm?p=5529. Submissions should be received no later than April 2, 2010.
No registration fee is required, as it is part of our feminist mission to make the conference accessible and affordable.
Registration forms are available online and anyone may attend at no cost. Banquet reservations do require payment. Anyone interested in advertising in our conference program may contact Carolyn Fallahi at FallahiC@mail.ccsu.edu. All advertising proceeds will help fund the June Baker Higgins Scholarship at Central Connecticut State University.
