A Leslie Center Humanities Project, organized by Amy
Hollywood, Brenda Silver, Barbara Will, and Melissa
Zeiger, and co-sponsored by Women’s and Gender
Studies. The organizers of "Feminism Now"
invite the Dartmouth and local community to participate
in a conversation about their views of promising ventures,
difficulties, contexts, and/or tasks in feminist studies
at the present moment.
Eight panelists will get us started, addressing in short
(twenty-minute) presentations the intersections of feminist
scholarship with newer areas of study, such as cultural
studies, gay, lesbian and queer studies, globalization
studies, and race and ethnicity studies. The panelists,
drawing on their own research and that in their fields,
will discuss the way feminist studies have integrated
(or failed to integrate) approaches from these areas;
how it has been integrated (or not been integrated)
into them; and to what extent, in the course of these
interactions, it has mutated or evolved into something
new.
Each panel will be followed by an ample discussion period,
during which audience are encouraged to present their
views and responses.
