Dear FEAST,
The Feminist Collective at my university has put together a wonderful Fall
Conference, "Colonization, Class, and Women." (Keynote: Dr. Andrea Smith). I
have pasted the program below. The conference format is innovative in that
it pairs faculty with students in collaborative partnerships. Please
consider attending the conference (registration is free!) and please let the
organizers know if you would like to be a moderator for one of the sessions.

All the best,
