June 4 Guest scholars from as far away as Cameroon, Bulgaria and Russia are scheduled to speak at a day-long conference on international gender research Wednesday, June 4, in the Campus Center Assembly Hall. Open to the public, the conference is intended for faculty, students, and those interested in women's, area, and ethnic studies.
Early registration is encouraged.
A second event, a faculty development institute, will be held June 5-8 in the Campus Center and the Humanities building. Forty participants for the institute will be selected from faculty applicants who are revising existing courses or developing new courses to include significant coverage of women and gender in international contexts. Conference speakers, women's studies and area studies scholars, and curriculum specialists will run workshops and discussions during the institute. Participants may be from any discipline and will receive a stipend to help cover expenses. The deadline for applying to the faculty development institute is April 30.
