2. The Message is in the Music:Hip Hop Feminism, Riot Grrrl, Latina Music, and More Organizers: Sara Lawrence College Women's History Graduate Program Keynotes/Speakers: Carmen Ashhurst, former president of Def Jam Recordings and Rush Communications Theme: Music has long served social movements as a sound track, as a means of communication, and as its own arena for activism. While multiple generations of feminists have used music in these ways, it has played especially vital roles for those born since the 1970s. This conference will explore the ways in which young feminists have defined and expressed politics through music and musical cultures and communities. Among the questions we will ponder are: How does music reflect sites of agreement and conflict among different groups of feminists? How have movements like Riot Grrrl and Hip Hop feminism attracted young women to feminist activism? How do young feminists’ uses of music compare with those of earlier generations? Suggested Topics: Hip Hop Feminism

Patricia Williams Theme: Since the publication of Kimberlé Crenshaw's formative articles - Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race & Sex (1989), and Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics & Violence Against Women of Color (1994) - the concept of intersectionality has traversed more than a dozen academic disciplines and transnational and popular political discourse, generated multiple conferences, monographs, and anthologies, and animated hundreds of articles and essays. In the twenty years since Crenshaw introduced intersectionality, critiques of identity politics and multiculturalism and, more recently, claims of a "post-racial" era have blossomed. In 2010, we will re-visit the origins of intersectionality as a theoretical frame and site of legal interventions and consider its still unfolding potential for unmasking subordination and provoking social change. Suggested Topics: Intersectionality, Critical Race Theory, Transnational Feminisms, Activism, Law CFP Address: CFP Email Address: crssymposium@law.ucla.edu Contact: Saul Sarabia Telephone:
