Dear Colleagues:
On behalf of the Conference Committee, I am pleased to announce a call for papers for a multidisciplinary conference, The Art of Gender in Everyday Life VI, to take place at Idaho State University (ISU), April 2 & 3, 2009. In addition to sessions, the conference will include: a keynote, "Strong Women And How They Did It," by Dr. Emily Toth (A.K.A. Ms. Mentor), Professor of English at the Louisiana State University, on the evening of Friday, April 3; a Friday, April 2, lunchtime talk, by an ISU faculty member and a screening of LUNAFEST on Thursday evening.
The Conference Committee invites abstracts from university faculty and staff as well as from graduate and advanced undergraduate students. ALL submissions related to the art of living gendered lives will be considered. This year, given our keynote speaker, we are especially interested in submissions that address gender and career and/or gender and higher education. We are also very interested in submissions that explore gender identities (including masculinities) and gender activism. Abstracts must be postmarked by November 10, 2008.
This conference is an occasion to showcase current work being done in the area of gender studies. Participants from past years have consistently commented on the friendly atmosphere at The Art of Gender in Everyday Life conferences, and it is our principal mission to continue our tradition of creating a collegial, supportive and
nurturing environment for the discussion of gender issues across the disciplines.
The Art of Gender in Everyday Life VI is a special opportunity to network with colleagues in the relaxed setting of Pocatello, Idaho, nestled in the picturesque Bannock Range of the Rocky Mountains. We are pleased to announce that again this year; participants will have the opportunity to register for a day trip to nearby Lava Hot Springs. Those taking part in the trip will experience a day of relaxation in the naturally-occurring mineral hot springs, the temperatures of which range from 102-112 degrees. More information about Lava Hot Springs is available at
A formal call for papers, an announcement of our student paper competition, and a registration form can be found on our website at
On behalf of the entire Conference Committee, I invite you to join us for this important event.
Kind regards,
Rebecca Morrow, Ph.D.
Director, Anderson Gender Resource Center
