We invite proposals on a wide range of subjects related to Women’s Studies. In keeping with the theme of the Congress, we welcome proposals that address coalition building, collaboration and connectivity, particularly those that cross lines of race, ethnicity, nationality, class, age, sexual identity and religion. We also welcome cross-cultural and interdisciplinary proposals from every field of the humanities, the natural and social sciences, the creative and performing arts, health, law, social work, education, community development, NGOs, activists and so on.
