Current feminisms challenge us to travel into new territories, both real and theoretical. In this conference, we encourage scholarship that breaches boundaries, whether those boundaries be geographic, disciplinary, methodological, theoretical or artistic. We encourage contributions that consider emerging feminisms; describe gender relations between the global ‘south’ and ‘north’; explore feminist questions across ethnic, socio-economic, and gender categories; and examine trans-gendered and trans-sexual identities.
