I'm very excited to share that on October 23rd and 24th 2015, the University of Maryland's Women's Studies Graduate Student Association will be hosting its 2nd biennial symposium, "Interventions: Women's Studies in Action". Our two day symposium kicks off with a performance by Renaissance in the Belly of the Killer Whale on Friday night - 7pm at Hoff Theater. Saturday features a full day of panels, more performances, a roundtable, plenary, and keynote featuring Dr. Nancy Mirabal.
I'll be moderating a roundtable discussion titled “Women and Gender Studies in Practice: Past Presents and Speculating Futures”. I look forward to talking with a panel of scholars whose interdisciplinary work bridges the gap between history and contemporary, between theory and praxis, between academic scholarship and community engagement. The intention is to discuss the state of Women and Gender studies as a field through a discussion between scholars – scholars who have spent a lifetime working within and without academia and have recently retired from the University of Maryland’s WMST program, with scholars who are now in the early stages of their careers and have recently joined the WMST department at the University of Maryland.
Check out the GSA's website for the symposium schedule. Registration closes on October 16th. We hope to see you there!
