CALL FOR PROPOSALS

We invite proposals on a wide range of subjects related to Women's Studies. In keeping with the theme of the Congress, we welcome proposals that address coalition building, collaboration and connectivity, particularly those that cross lines of race, ethnicity, nationality, class, age, sexual identity and religion. We also welcome cross-cultural and interdisciplinary proposals from every field of the humanities, the natural and social sciences, the creative and performing arts, health, law, social work, education, community development, NGOs, activists and so on.

SESSION TYPE

Proposals may be submitted for individual papers, panels, workshops, round tables, posters and presentations of creative works such as art, films and writings.

A Panel would comprise three or four individual papers presenting theoretical issues or research data organized around a common theme pertaining to any field in Women's Studies.

A Workshop is an in-depth presentation designed to share skills, knowledge and/or expertise in some areas of Women's Studies or feminist politics.

A Roundtable offers ideas and facilitates group discussion on problems of mutual concern, focusing on new ideas and problem solving.

Posters will be displayed during the conference. A special time will be scheduled to meet and talk to the presenters about their work.
