Flaunting It, Too:
Undergraduate Research on Gender and Sexuality

Call for Papers

Got a great paper gathering dust on your hard-drive? Just longing to get a little early feedback on your thesis research due later this semester? Have an urge to strut your academic stuff in front of an appreciative audience of your peers? Want fame? Fortune? A better CV? If so, then have we got a conference for you!

Back by popular demand, Flaunting It, Too: Undergraduate Research on Gender and Sexuality, an interdisciplinary undergraduate conference organized by Women’s Studies students and faculty and sponsored by The Centre for Women’s Studies and Feminist Research, and the Women’s Studies Student Council, is being held on Friday March 10, 2006. All undergraduate students doing research which explores gender or sexuality or which is the product of a feminist approach, are invited to submit proposals to give an oral paper or poster presentation. Papers will be 15 minutes in length. The deadline for submitting a proposal is Friday February 17, 2006.

Conference organizers welcome proposals for papers and posters dealing with questions of gender or sexuality, or which use a feminist approach. This is the perfect opportunity to test drive your presentation skills, your research and your ideas. And it's easy to participate! Just update a paper you did for a previous course, work up some ideas you didn't have a chance to explore at the time, or present a "work in progress" for a current course in poster format. If you've never given a conference paper, don't work: we'll provide you with advice suggestions, moral support...

Proposals should include a title, a 100-150 word summary of the paper or poster (indicate which you will be doing), as well as the presenter's name, faculty, year and contact details. Proposals can be submitted by emailing iwannaflauntit@hotmail.com or dropping a hard copy in the Women's Studies Office, Somerville House, Rm 2319. For more information, please contact sknabe@uwo.ca.
