The
Department of Women's and Gender Studies at the university of
Saskatchewan is hosting a Western Canadian Regional Women's Studies Conference on May 9 -
11th, Arts Building, University of Saskatchewan Campus,
2002 in celebration of our fifth anniversary as a departmental
unit.
To reflect the title of our conference, our
intention is to reflect on where we have been and where we are going. We
hope to explore interconnections among feminists and feminisms across
time and place
We are pleased to announce that Judy Rebick
has agreed to be our keynote speaker on May 10th, 2002. Judy is
publisher of rabble.ca, a new online interactive magazine. She also
writes columns in Elm Street magazine, on CBC Online and regular
commentaries in the Ottawa Citizen. Judy is probably best know as the
President of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women from
1990 to 1993.
