DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: February 16, 2009

The Eastern Division of the Society for Women in Philosophy (ESWIP) kindly invites submissions for its 2009 Spring meeting.  Abstracts (500 words), papers (2500 words), panel proposals, workshop proposals, performance proposals, and roundtable discussion proposals will be considered.  Proposals for panels should include the names of all participants and each of their papers or abstracts.

Submissions that address the conference theme “Feminism at the Crossroads” by either engaging challenging issues in feminist theory and/or by exploring new directions for the future of feminism are particularly welcome.  In addition, submissions that address the general topics of feminist theory/practice or women’s studies from any disciplinary approach will receive full consideration.  ESWIP strives to provide scholars from all academic ranks and disciplines with a highly supportive professional community.

All submissions will be anonymously reviewed; names should appear only on a cover page, and cover pages should be attached in a separate file.  Small Travel Stipends of $100-$200 may be available for undergraduate and graduate students whose work is accepted at the conference, and alternate rooming accommodations may be arranged for students.  If you wish to have your submission considered for a travel stipend, please mark “undergraduate” or “graduate,” respectively, on your cover page.  Please e-mail all submissions to Jen McWeeny at [log in to unmask] no later than FEBRUARY 16, 2009.  The decision of the program committee is expected by March 1, 2009.  While all presentations will take place on Saturday, March 28th, there will be a welcoming reception on the evening of Friday, March 27th and an optional farewell dinner on Saturday evening.

REGISTRATION FEE: $25 (Registration Fee is waived for students and for the underemployed).
