ABSTRACT POSTMARK DEADLINE: Monday, October 24, 2005
Gender is not a given. Its meaning and significance are constantly in
flux. This conference will explore the various ways in which gender is
crafted, celebrated, endured, deciphered, expressed or, in short, the art of
how
it is lived on a daily basis.
ALL submissions related to the art of living gendered lives will be
considered. Given our keynote speakers, the committee is especially interested
in
submissions that address the following:
-GENDER AT WORK IN THE COMMUNITY (for example: university-community
partnerships; the work of non-profit organizations; gender and economics;
etc.)
-INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES ON GENDER
-GENDER AND MEN (for example: men & nonviolence; construction of
masculinity; etc.)
The committee is also especially interested in receiving submissions from
graduate and
advanced undergraduate students. The committee will hold a
student paper competition and award prizes for the graduate and
undergraduate submissions they select.
PRESENTATION FORMATS: Presentations may take several different formats,
including: papers (resulting from group work or individuals); slide
presentations; films; readings; and performances. Presentations should
be no longer than 20 minutes in duration.
Complete panels can also be submitted. Panel submissions will only be
considered, however, if the following information is included: cover
sheets and abstracts for a complete group of four participants; and the
specific question to be addressed.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submissions will be accepted BY POST ONLY.

4. a CHECK for
