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. For more information and
to view the conference website, visit http://www.jcu.edu/appliedethics/index.htm

All the best,
