Most women's athletic teams are experiencing a unevenly distributed finances, receiving one dollar for every three dollars spent on their male counterparts.

Women and Social Security Reform. The Center is working to strengthen the current social security system, which was implemented to specifically benefit the elderly. Since statistically, women usually live longer than men, social security seems to benefit more women than men. That the system remains strong, is an important issues for the women's movement.

# 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.
