Subject: Feminism in Practice Conference cfp

Dear Colleagues,

Please share this cfp with colleagues, students, activists, and 
professionals.  We hope to see you in November.


The Women's Center and Women's Studies at Lehigh University
invite proposal, paper, and poster submissions for

Feminism in Practice Conference 2010:  Reflection, Action, Change
Saturday, November 6
Lehigh University

This one-day conference, held at Lehigh University, seeks to bring together 
professionals, academics, activists, and individuals interested in exploring 
how, when, and why feminism exists as a practical part of our lives.
The theme for this year underscores the necessary act of critical reflection 
before, during, and after we act, for without participating in both of these 
steps, change becomes bereft of reason. In an American context that pundits, 
academics, and social critics have defined as seriously lacking "critical 
thought," the 2010 Conference will offer all attendees the opportunity to 
explore and engage in these notions of loss of critical inquiry.
We invite submissions for roundtable or panel discussions, research and/or 
poster presentations, and scholarly papers. Submissions for this conference 
may be practically, creatively, or theoretically based.
Suggested topics may include
*        Feminism and Politics/Political Feminism

·        Activism

·        Community organizing

·        Critical reflection

·        Blogs

·        Feminism and Pedagogy

·        Mothering and parenting

·        Women in STEM Fields

·        Feminism and higher education

·        Non-profits work

Please submit proposals of no more than 750 words to 

 by September 10, 2010.  Other inquiries may be directed to Rita Jones 
()
 or Jackie Krasas

Registration fee is $10, which includes pre-conference hors d'oeuvres 
(Friday, November 5) and breakfast and lunch during the conference.
Best,
Rita Jones
