<pre><i><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Thinking Gender </span></i><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">is a public conference highlighting graduate student research on women, gender and/or sexuality across all disciplines and historical periods. We invite submissions for individual papers or pre-constituted panels<b> </b>on any topic pertaining to women, gender, and/or sexuality.<b> </b>This year, we especially welcome feminist research on: gender roles in relation to marriage, parenting, or being single; critiques of biosciences and biotechnology as they pertain to fertility, sanitation, and/or medical experimentation at a local, national or global level; mobility as duress or success--for example, in relation to migration, immigration, or upward or downward economic mobility; life stage issues, such as aging and girls’ studies; and feminist storytelling or research in modes such as oral histories, graphic novels, theater, comedy or other inventive expressions. </span><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">CSW accepts submissions for both individual papers and pre-constituted panels from all active graduate students. In order to give everyone an opportunity to present, we do not accept submissions from people who presented at <i>Thinking Gender</i> in the previous year. Also no previously published material is eligible. <span class="apple-style-span"> </span></span><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Students proposing individual papers are to submit an abstract (250 words), a CV (2 pages maximum), and a brief bibliography (3-5 sources), for consideration. For panels, a 250-word description of the panel topic is required, in addition to the materials that must be provided for individual paper submissions.
