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. These conversations have already begun at various locations; we
now need to bring together individuals from many different sites within
and outside women's studies to share information and consider the future
of graduate education in our field.
At this working conference, envisioned as the first of a
series, all attendees will be active participants and contributors. We
anticipate that a publication will develop out of this working conference.
The conference will be structured around three themes:
* Roles and Scope of Women's Studies Ph.D.Education
* Articulations within Women's Studies and Connections with Other
Interdisciplinary Studies and Sites of Knowledge-Production
* Implications and Possibilities for Women's Studies as a Field
This working conference is being structured to maximize opportunities for
discussion and exchange and thus will include few formal presentations.
Not all participants will make presentations, but all attendees will
contribute to conference discussions and recommendations. Conference
attendees will be asked to serve as respondents, facilitators, discussion
and group leaders, and to be active participants in the dialogue
throughout.
With this objective in mind, the planning committee is not soliciting
paper proposals. Rather, we are requesting applications that describe
potential attendees' interests and expertise. These applications will
guide the selection of conference presenters and facilitators. We ask that
these applications include information that will help planners create a
conference with a diverse representation of faculty and students from a
range of institutions, regions, philosophies, and identities.
Lodging and Registration: The registration fee is expected to be no more
than $150, and we are seeking funding to reduce that fee for all
participants and to provide some subsidy for lodging. Information will be
available on the conference web site.
