We invite applicants for our Spelman Junior Faculty Institute:
Women of Color: Theory, Scholarship, and Activism
June 15-17, 2009 · Spelman College, Atlanta, GA
About the Junior Faculty Institute
Hosted by Spelman College’s Women’s Research and Resource Center in conjunction with the National Women’s Studies Association, the Institute is designed to explore issues of power and privilege and examine intersectional analyses of race, class, nation, sexuality, gender, and globalization which have become central to scholarship and teaching in the field of women’s studies as well as feminist activism. The Institute is funded with generous support from The Ford Foundation.
The three-day Institute will be led by established women of color scholars in women’s studies and will combine readings, lectures, discussion, and media. The Institute will also take advantage of its location in Atlanta. A major site for the Civil Rights Movement, Atlanta today is characterized by strong racial/ethnic diversity and a tradition of African-American leadership in the public sector. It also serves one of the largest gay and lesbian populations in the United States.
