- Description
- The Women’s Studies Department at Old Dominion University, in celebration of its 40th anniversary, invites proposal submissions for a regional interdisciplinary conference of feminist scholarship. This Works in Progress Conference will be a nonjuried conference: anyone whose work deals with women, gender, and/or sexuality is welcome to make a proposal. You may try something new or share a completed paper, project, or piece of creative work that colleagues in other disciplines or other universities in the area have not had a chance to hear. Works in Progress is also a supportive setting for novice researchers to give papers. Two types of proposals are invited: • Paper Presentations, where presenters will speak for 20 minutes about their projects or present creative work (poems, short stories, etc.). These papers will be grouped into panels comprised of three related subjects. • Panel Presentations, where three presenters working on similar (possibly interdisciplinary) topics may submit their presentations together as a pre-formed panel. Please submit a proposal abstract of 200-350 words describing your project in enough detail that we will be able to place you with similar work that share themes or perspectives, even across disciplinary lines. We also ask for contact information and a brief bio. Proposals will be accepted until March 3 and can be submitted at Works in Progress 2017.
