# 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.
