Symposium on Women and Gender

The Symposium is a multi-disciplinary event that will focus on women, genders and sexualities, both past and present. It will investigate the interplay between gender and the social, cultural, and legal norms that shape it, both in the United States and in other countries around the globe. We are also interested in feminist theories that have shed important light on issues of exclusion and marginalization as well as mobilization and social change. We welcome intersectional contributions that engage with gender, class and race.
