Dear CSW Faculty Affiliate,
We are very pleased to invite you to attend Thinking Gender, the Nineteenth Annual Graduate Student Research Conference on Friday, February 11, 2011.
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 media, technology, motherhood, transgender issues, normative narratives, contemporary politics, kinship, pedagogy, entrepreneurship, and a variety of other topics. This year’s plenary session, “Making It Our Business: Development, Coffee, Sex and the Workforce,” spotlights current graduate research on women and business. Last week, we sent out a flier featuring the plenary information; please let us know if you have not received it, or if you would like additional copies.
If you are teaching this quarter, we hope that you will encourage your class to attend. We welcome entire classes! If you would like this year’s conference coordinator, Jennifer Moorman, to speak to your class about the conference offerings, please email her directly at [log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]. If you would like to offer your students extra credit for attending the conference, we would be happy to provide sign-in sheets at our registration tables. We would like 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/conferences/thinking-gender/thinking-gender-2011
The scheduling is not settled, but the preliminary list of panels is available: http://www.csw.ucla.edu/conferences/thinking-gender/TG11PreliminaryProgram.pdf. I hope that you will help us to advertise panels of interest to you and your students, advisees, and colleagues.
With all best wishes,
