The Women's Studies Program and the Conference Program Committee at Texas Tech University proudly announces a public colloquium, which will take place on the campus of Texas Tech University, Friday, October 29th, 2010.

We invite papers and full panel proposals highlighting feminist research, in progress or completed, on gender and gender identity exploring meanings of movement and change as connected to, created by, and/or caught up in the presence of women's, gender, and identity issues, in both contemporary and historical frameworks. Undergraduates, graduate students, staff and faculty from all disciplines are invited to participate and to attend. We especially welcome feminist research on:

* gender and media (literatures, the press, and printing of all kinds)
* regional feminist issues and concerns on the South Plains
* gender and the environment (e.g., ecofeminism, indigenista, urban planning, architecture)
* gender and political activism (e.g., government, war/peace)
* gender in sports
* embodiment (e.g., ability, genetics, inscribing)
* cultural constructions of gender
* psychology of sex roles
* social constructs of gender relations
* gender in science and cyberspace
* gender in art, art criticism, art instruction and learning
