CENTER DESCRIPTION
The Binghamton University's Women's Studies Department gives students
the opportunity to tailor their studies toward issues of gender and
intersections between race, class, and sexuality. Binghamton
administers a minor and concentration in Women's Studies.
AREA(S) OF EXPERTISE
Feminist thought and
scholarship; women's studies.
RECENT PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
Feminist Thought and Scholarship
Transnational Feminisms.
This symposium will focus on the formation of
a complex weaving of feminisms(s) globally with special attention to
the
relationship between feminist movements and feminist theories and the
"new world order," hence the current reconfiguration of economic,
social, and political arrangements world-wide. The symposium also seeks
to be self-reflexive and consequently to raise issues about the place
of
women's and/or gender studies in the weave. No one disciplinary
perspective will be privileged at the symposium and we welcome
contributions from outside of the academy. Among issues that could be
addressed in the symposium are: identity; interactions between
different social movements; gender or sexual preference based rights;
cross border theoretical travels.
Feminism, Democracy, and
the Changing World Order. The Women's Studies Department hosted
an event addressing feminism, democracy, and the changing world order.
Lectures and discussions were administered by the department.
Gender and Work Space(s) was a spring symposium, held
April 14 and 15, 2000. It explored the relationship between gender,
sexuality, and work; the multidimensionality of gender at work; gender
and the cyber work space; gender, work, and the changing world order;
and gender, work, and the state, among other topics.
Homeland Security:
Feminist Critiques. Proposed for April 2003.
