The UCR Center for Women in Coalition announces a conference on:
FRONTLINE FEMINISMS Women, War & Resistance
January 16-18, 1997 Highlander Hall University of California, Riverside
The Center for Women in Coalition at the University of California, Riverside has organized a conference, "Frontline Feminisms: Women, War, and Resistance," to take place on the UCR campus January 16-18, 1997. Participants will discuss the forging of new feminisms in the context of militarized situations around the world. The conference will link feminist activists and grass-root organizers engaged in innovative feminist praxes with a gathering of scholars and policy-makers engaged in theorizing conflict and promoting cooperation.
This conference is international in scope, and will include women from the Balkans, Ireland, the Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, Africa, and the Americas. It will embrace a range of discourses and topics, combining scholarly work with position papers, background briefings, testimonial accounts, workshops, videos, and creative pieces. This purposely heterogeneous range of "languages" will appeal to the many communities, within and beyond the academy, concerned with issues involving women and militarization.
