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,
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: http://www.csw.ucla.edu/thinkinggender.html.
The scheduling is not settled, but the preliminary list of panels is available:

I hope that you will help us to advertise panels of interest to you and your students, advisees, and colleagues.
You should have received some copies of
the poster and the plenary flyer recently. Please let us know if you need more
copies.
With all best wishes,
