4. re (un) learning gender: an education in social constructions Organizers: The Pennsylvania State University's Women's Studies Graduate Organization Keynotes/Speakers: Keynote: Sharhzad Mojab, PhD, Professor of Adult Education and Community Development Program at the University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada Theme: For decades, scholars have noted that gender is socially constructed. Yet the idea that behavioral disparities between women and men are driven by essential, inborn differences still flourishes, informing everything from global policy making to interpersonal interactions. Further, the study of the social construction of gender largely remains an investigation of gender as a singular factor in the lives of women, ignoring the ways in which gender intersects with other aspects of women’s lives, such as socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. How do we understand the role of gender in everyday life? How do we learn gender and who teaches us? Can gender be unlearned? How have various academic disciplines contributed to our understanding of the social construction of gender?

8. 'Quarantine' - The Culture and Theory 2010 Graduate Student Conference, UC Irvine Organizers: Jen Kosakowski, PhD Candidate, Culture and Theory, UC Irvine
Diana Leong, PhD Candidate, Culture and Theory, UC Irvine Keynotes/Speakers: Theme: Our conference theme was inspired by the cultural panics and anxieties that emerged out of the public discourse surrounding the H1N1 flu virus. Declared a national emergency by the Obama Administration, our cultural imaginary on disease, health, and bodies has been become deeply mired in discourses on inclusion and exclusion. These discourses are mobilized by racialized, classed, sexualized, and gendered economies of representation that produce notions of who is allowed access to the identities of ‘citizen’ and ‘national’. Our conference will look to the ways that identities and bodies become sites of intense contestation both within these contemporary discursive formations and through the pathologizing of racial, sexual, classed, and gendered identities.
Suggested Topics: panic/anxiety surrounding the H1N1 flu virus

9. 19th Annual Southern Connecticut State University Women's Studies Conference: "Women and Girls of Color: History, Heritage, Heterogeneity" Organizers: Yi-Chun Tricia Lin Keynotes/Speakers: Theme: Both inside and outside of academe, women of color have actively participated in theoretical, artistic, and cultural production, influencing the ways we perceive and think about issues pertinent to women and girls. Situated by both gender and race, yet often at the margins, women of color have been instrumental in challenging scholars to critically re-conceptualize the discourses on race, gender, class, sexuality, and nationality. The scholarly work by women of color and on women of color is simultaneously multicultural, heterogeneous, interdisciplinary, and, in most instances, global and transnational. This body of literature, which has spawned a whole new area of study at universities and colleges, is among the most exciting and vibrant in feminist scholarship and publications. As a site of innovative knowledge production, women of color writing does not simply travel throughout academic disciplines in the U.S., but it also travels globally, generating significant connections with women’s writing especially globally. In the 19th annual SCSU Women’s Studies conference, we will take a close look at women and girls of color, looking back at their achievements throughout history but also pushing our thinking forward into the 21st century. Who are women and girls of color and what issues are important to them? How have women of color contributed artistically, culturally, and politically, inside universities as well as out in our communities? What challenges do woman and girls of color across races, classes, religions, and cultures face in an increasingly globalized world? How can the discourse surrounding women and girls of color challenge our ideas about race, gender, class, nationality, and sexuality? Suggested Topics: Women of Color as a Social Construct Women & Girls of Color in Pop Culture
