>Dear Colleagues:
>
>We are pleased to announce a call for papers for
>a multidisciplinary conference, The Art of
>Gender in Everyday Life IV, to take place at
>Idaho State University, April 5-6, 2007. The
>conference will include a keynote by Dr. Bernice
>Sandler on the chilly climate in academe on the
>evening of April 5 and an April 6 lunchnote by
>artist Claudia McCoy on how feminist identity
>informs her work.
>
>We invite abstracts from our university faculty
>and staff colleagues 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 speakers, we are especially
>interested in submissions that address gender in
>academe (for example: campus climate; the
>experience of women in traditionally
>male-dominated disciplines, and vice versa;
>gender studies vs. women’s studies; etc.) and
>those that address gender and the arts. We also
>especially encourage sessions that will focus on
>men as gendered subjects (for example: men &
>nonviolence; construction of masculinity; etc.).
>Abstracts must be postmarked by October 24, 2006.
>
>This conference is an occasion to showcase
>current work being done across the disciplines
>in the area of gender studies. The Art of
>Gender in Everyday Life IV will be a special
>opportunity to network with colleagues in the
>relaxed setting of Pocatello, Idaho, nestled in
>the picturesque mountains of the Bannock Range.
>Many participants in last year’s conference
>commented on the friendly atmosphere and the
>excellent diversity of topics presented. Here
>is a sample of some of the comments:
>
>o What did I like best about the
>conference? So much
the very broad umbrella
>that included topics from women to guns to
>performing masculinity
your graciousness as
>hosts
your beautiful campus
the surprise of
>finding a hotbed of progressive activism in
>eastern Idaho.
>
>o Thank you. This was my first time to
>participate in a professional conference, and
>it’s been amazing. This conference made me feel
>like a peer despite being an undergraduate. It
>created an amazing level of respect that I truly
>appreciate.
>
>o Well-organized and fun – Kudos!
>
>It is our goal to continue in that tradition and
>to create a collegial, supportive and nurturing
>environment for the discussion of gender issues
>across the disciplines.
>
>Please find, immediately following this letter,
>a formal call for papers, the conference
>registration form, as well as an announcement of
>our student paper competition. These documents
>are also found on our website,
