Dear Listmembers,
Below I have copied the Call for Papers for the 2005 Feminist Ethics and Social Theory (FEAST) conference. I strongly urge those of you who produce feminist disability studies/theory to consider submitting a paper for the conference. I and the others on the program committee would very much like analyses of disability/disability theory to be well represented on the conference program.
FEAST conferences are wonderful venues: very relaxing, friendly, collegial, politically motivating, intellectually stimulating, and supportive. Graduate students presenting at the conference can apply to receive funds for travel to the conference. In addition, many FEAST members are happy to share their hotel room at the conference in order to defray expenses.
Please consider submitting some of your cutting-edge work on disability!
Best regards,
Shelley Tremain

Call for Submissions
The Association for Feminist Ethics And Social Theory (FEAST) invites
submissions for the Fall, 2005 conference, to take place October
20th-23rd, 2005, in Clearwater Beach, Florida.
Keynote speakers: Bat-Ami Bar On, Alison Jaggar and Maria Lugones.
Submission deadline: February 18th, 2005.
Submissions must include a paper with a 3,000 word limit and an abstract
of 100-250 words.
An exact word count of the paper must be provided at the top left-hand
corner of the first page of the paper. No paper that omits the word count will be considered, nor will any paper over the 3,000 word limit.
Proposals for panels must include abstracts and papers-with word count-for
each panelist.
Proposals for presentations other than papers (e.g. workshops,
discussions, etc.) must include detailed descriptions demonstrating that
the ideas are as developed as they would be in a paper.
Theoretical papers on all topics within the areas of feminist ethics and
social theory are welcome.
The program committee aims to create a conference with a diverse group of
presenters and a diversity of philosophical topics and styles.
----
We especially invite submissions for the following special panels:
The "Difficult Conversations" workshop is held as a lunch-time event at
each FEAST conference. In 2001 the conversation was about how racism has
affected participant's lives, and in 2003 there was a conversation between
disabled women and women who care for persons with disabilities. The 2005
topic is open; submissions should describe the proposed topic and workshop
format, and should name the facilitator and list presenters.
In this past year Susan Moller Okin and Gloria Anzaldua, both
important feminist theorists, died. FEAST 2005 will honor each of
them with panels on their work. We invite submissions of individual papers
to be fit into one of these panels, and/or we invite proposals to organize
and facilitate one of the panels (such a proposal should include
abstracts, but not necessarily full papers, from each presenter, or a
description of an alternative panel format such as a roundtable discussion
and a list of presenters).
------
FEAST strongly encourages members of groups that are underrepresented in
both the discipline of philosophy and at feminist philosophy conferences
to send submissions.
All submissions will be anonymously reviewed.
