2017 Call for Abstracts

The Women and Gender Research Collaborative at Texas State University is soliciting abstracts from scholars who would like to participate in our upcoming symposium, Century of Conflict: Dialogues on Women, Gender, Intersectionality, and Militarism. This event will provide a forum for diverse perspectives on work around issues of gender, ability/disability, veteran status, and intersectionality. We also welcome work on feminist critiques of war, militarism, and on peace movements. The symposium will take place on March 24, 2017, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the LBJ Student Center on the Texas State University campus in San Marcos, Texas.

Scholars from Texas, the United States, and the world are invited to engage in discussing various issues related to the conference theme. Please indicate whether you are interested in making a paper presentation, organizing a discussion panel, or submitting an undergraduate poster presentation. Persons interested in participating should submit by November 21, 2016, the following: an abstract of no more than 250 words and a one-page curriculum vitae. These may be sent as attachments to cdgs@txstate.edu or mailed to the address below. Questions regarding the symposium theme and abstracts may be directed to cdgs@txstate.edu.

Student participation is encouraged. Limited travel grants, based on demonstrated need, are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

After the symposium, presenters are invited to submit their papers to the Journal of Research on Women and Gender, a peer reviewed, open access online journal hosted by the Texas Digital Library.
