Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. As the number of institutions granting doctoral degrees in women's studies has grown from none to two to ten or twelve and beyond, the time has come to hold a conference dedicated to discussions of this important development and its implications for all levels of women's studies education. We anticipate that a publication will develop out of this working conference. PhD students and faculty from any academic discipline may apply. Journal of Women in Culture and Society seeks papers for a special issue that will feature articles that examine different modes of memory, as well as different theoretical models of memory, postmemory and nostalgia, through a number of specific examples that will lend themselves to a gender analysis.
Guidelines appear in the most recent issue.
Preference will be given to students presenting papers at the conference and those within the southeastern region. Theory, Politics, Pedagogy. University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, Colorado. This conference is committed to the necessary critique of the contemporary commodification of identity, and simultaneously refuses the premature foreclosure of sexual difference as an analytic category. Norma Alcaron, Wendy Brown, and Amy Kesselman.
