Southern Connecticut State University
Women's Studies Program
Presents
The Sixteenth Annual Women's Studies Conference
Women's Health:
Colonized, Resisted, Reclaimed
To be held on the campus of Southern Connecticut State University
Friday and Saturday, October 27 and 28, 2006
invitation for proposals on interdisciplinary scholarly and creative work
The 16th Annual Women's Studies Conference at Southern Connecticut State University explores various dimensions of women's health:
physical, emotional, cultural, psychological, political, spiritual, socio-economical, and more. Examinations of the representations of women's health across different regions on the globe will be a primary focus. How is women's health defined and by whom? How are disease, medicine, and healing
defined differently for women? In our sixteenth annual conference, we hope to explore the full complexity of women's health in the age of globalization. The Conference Committee invites academics, feminists, and activists from all disciplines, institutions, and organizations to submit proposals
for "Women's Health:
Colonized, Resisted, Reclaimed."
Proposal Format: Faculty, students, staff, administrators, and community activists from all disciplines and fields are invited to submit proposals for individual papers, complete sessions, panels, or round tables. Poster sessions, performance pieces, video recordings, and other creative works are
also encouraged. For individual papers, please submit a one-page abstract. For complete panels, submit a one-page abstract for each presentation plus an overview on the relationship among individual components. For the poster sessions and art work, submit a one-page overview. All proposals must
include speaker's/speakers' name(s), affiliation(s), and contact information (address, E-mail, & telephone number). Please also indicate preference for Friday afternoon, Saturday morning or Saturday afternoon; all attempts will be made to honor schedule requests.
Panels: Each 75 minute session usually includes three presenters and a session moderator, but individual presenters may request an entire session for a more substantial paper or presentation. Presenters are encouraged, though not required, to form their own panels. The conference committee will
group individual proposals into panels and
assign a moderator. Please indicate in your contact information if you
are willing to serve as a moderator.
Posters, Art Displays, and Slide Presentations: A poster presentation consists of an exhibit of materials that report research activities or informational resources in visual & summary form. An art display consists of a depiction of feminist concerns in an artistic medium.
Both types of presentations provide a unique platform that facilitates personal discussion of work with interested colleagues & allows meeting attendees to browse through highlights of current research. Please indicate in your proposal your anticipated needs in terms of space, etc.
