9th Annual Gender Conference: 
Centennial Celebration of Josefina Niggli

March 10, 2010
9am - 4pm, University Center, Western Carolina University

Students, faculty and professionals are invited to submit paper or poster presentations focusing on gender research. Our theme this year explores the life, work and contributions of Josefina Niggli during the centennial of Niggli’s birth. Josefina Niggli was a prolific Mexican-American author and screenwriter. Her work spanned from 1928 to 1964 and included not only plays, poetry and novels but also textbooks on screenplay writing and radio writing. If you are a scholar of Niggli’s life, work, heritage or the Latino culture, we invite you to make a submission to the conference. A selected group of presentations from the conference will be compiled into an edited volume on Josefina Niggli. Presentation submissions do not necessarily need to relate to this theme for the conference but those that do not address Josefina Niggli will not be considered for the edited volume.

Submissions should be received no later than January 15, 2010.
