Gender Across Borders III invites emerging and established scholars to 
share the best of their work on women and gender at this two-day 
conference. Panels in major research areas will be held alongside more 
focused panels to build an interdisciplinary look at the present and the 
future of research on women and gender. We welcome papers on more 
general issues, as well as papers on transformation, border-crossing, 
the present state and/or future of our research, or the specific topics 
listed below.

The conference will be headlined by humanities keynote speaker Dr. Layli 
Phillips, Associate Professor of Women's Studies and African American 
Studies at Georgia State University and editor of The Womanist Reader 
(Routledge, 2006); and by our special interdisciplinary session, 
“Creating a Space for Women in Science.”
