The Feminist Studies Group is putting together an exciting series of workshops for April and May, and if you are currently working on your dissertation, we are hoping you will be part of one of them!

One of the planned events will provide a forum for women’s studies students working on their dissertations (at any stage) to present their work in progress. We are looking for participants, who are part of the certificate program or whose dissertations take a feminist approach, to give a 15-20 minute presentation on some aspect of their research or work to date. The presentations will be followed by a question and answer period in which we hope the presenters will address questions about their process, including:

If you are interested in presenting, please send your name, contact information, a brief description of your work, program, and a general idea of your availability to feministstudiesgroup@gmail.com by Friday, April 12.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Interested in learning more about what it takes to get published? What editors of feminist and interdisciplinary journals are looking for?

Please join us tomorrow (Wednesday) for a workshop on publishing led by WSQ (Women’s Studies Quarterly) editors Amy Herzog and Joe Rollins.

The event will be held Wednesday November 28, from 4:30-6 in room 5409, and a reception (wine and snacks!) will follow.
We hope to see you there!

Just a reminder that the first (non-organizational) meeting of the Feminist Studies group will take place this Thursday, October 11, from 3-4:30 pm in room 5409.

We’ll be discussing feminist pedagogies (whatever that might mean to you)–if you have favorite resources on the subject, please bring them with you, or post as a comment here! (We’re aiming to develop a helpful archive of these resources.) We’re also very much interested in your own practices, experiences, and questions. Again, if you can’t make the meeting, please share with us here–we want this to be a useful space as its so difficult to get everyone together in person.
