Raising Our Voices:
Power, Politics, and Gender

Eastern Michigan University, under the auspices of the Michigan Women’s Studies Association, is pleased to announce the 2008 Michigan Women’s Studies Conference. This annual conference considers topics related to women and gender, and we invite faculty, independent scholars, graduate students, undergraduates, activists, and non-profit professionals to participate.

The theme of this conference, Raising Our Voices: Power, Politics, and Gender, highlights the ways in which women and men are using their voices to challenge power relationships. The conference seeks a diversity of presenters and presentations around the theme.
