Dear Affliated Faculty,

 

We are very pleased to invite you to attend Thinking Gender, the Eighteenth
Annual Graduate Student Research Conference on Friday, February 1, 2008. 

 

We are confident that this year’s conference will appeal to a broad spectrum
of undergraduate and graduate students who have an interest in feminist
research on sexuality, public health, performance, globalization,
historiography, labor, and the media. This year’s conference spotlights
current graduate research on sexuality and femininity in the plenary
session: “Lesbian, Counter, and Queer: New Directions in the Study of
Femininity,” to be chaired by Lisa Duggan, Professor in the Program in
American Studies, New York University. 

 

If you are teaching this quarter, we hope that you will encourage your class
to attend. We welcome classes! If you would like this year’s conference
coordinator, Stacy Macías, to speak to your class about the conference
offerings, please email her directly at [log in to unmask] We are
more than happy to assist you in any way that we can. We hope that you will
invite your students and advisees to attend the conference and to take
advantage of this wonderful opportunity to engage with their fellow
students, faculty, and scholars. 

 

The conference is free and open to the public.  For information on the
conference, please visit our website:

colleagues.

With all best wishes,
