The University of Kentucky's Women's Studies Program invites you to
participate in the 3rd Annual Graduate Student Conference March 30-31,
2001. This year's theme is "Gendered Violence: Epistemologies and
Practices," and the keynote speaker is Geeta Patel, whose research
examines the conjunctions between sexuality and colonialism in South
Asia.<br>
<br>
In recent years researchers working with feminist theories have examined
a diversity of instances and types of gendered violence occurring across
the globe. This research has enhanced our understandings of myriad ways
in which gendered violence occurs within different cultural milieus. Our
graduate student-organized conference provides a space for students,
activists and faculty to discuss ongoing research and community projects
related to the conference theme in a supportive and innovative
environment. We invite submission of 250-word abstract proposals for
special sessions, paper presentations, panels, and performances that
address the epistemologies and practices of gendered violence. The
theme of our conference is intentionally broad to encourage a diversity
of topics, which may include, but not be limited to:<br>
<br>
activism and gendered violence<br>
gender assignments as violence<br>
fantasy and gendered violence<br>
violent media<br>
nationalism and gendered violence<br>
poverty as gendered violence<br>
sexualities and gendered violence<br>
postcolonialism and gendered violence<br>
discourses and representations<br>
space, place and gendered violence<br>
gendered violence, commodities and capitalism<br>
