Following on from the very successful ‘Thinking Gender’ conference at the University of Leeds in 2006, the Centre for Women’s Studies (CWS) at the University of York now invites proposals for a three-day trans- and interdisciplinary conference 3-5 July 2007. This conference will provide opportunities for postgraduates and academics to share critical discussion, dialogue and reflections on recent, present and future gender research, and to learn from each other’s approaches and experiences in an informal and collegial environment, especially across national and international divides. The conference is aimed at anyone whose work relates to Women’s/Gender Studies and intends to explore cutting-edge methodologies, theoretical approaches, and practical applications as well as issues of feminist and queer theory. We are especially interested in work that explores the multi-dimensionality of women’s/gender studies, and that engages with the relationship between east and west in its multiple forms.
