The 28th Women’s Studies Conference at SUNY New Paltz
October 6, 2007
Deadline for proposals: June 15, 2007
This year’s conference focuses on growing up female in the United States and around the world, in contemporary society and throughout history. It will explore the ways girls view themselves and how their identities are influenced by the cultural, social, economic, political and familial contexts in which they live and grow. We are interested in the challenges of growing up in societies that don?t value girls and in girls? Creative responses to the obstacles, pressures, and expectations they face.
