Students, faculty and professionals are invited to submit paper or poster presentations focusing on gender research. The theme for the 12th Annual Gender Research Conference will be Women and Ethnicity. The keynote speaker, artist scholar Crystal Leigh Endsley, will address women's diverse experiences because of ethnic differences. Researchers who study such areas as: the intersection of ethnicity and gender in economic conditions, family relations, intimate relations, employment, education, and/or social class are invited to present at this year's conference. Presentation submissions do not necessarily need to relate to the theme but should provide the attendees with information regarding gender issues.
