Dear Colleagues:
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a multidisciplinary
conference, The Art of Gender in Everyday Life II, to take place at Idaho
State University,
March 4-5, 2005. Abstracts must be postmarked by October 8, 2004.
This conference is an occasion to showcase current work being done across
the disciplines in the area of gender studies. The Art of Gender in
Everyday Life II will be a special opportunity to network with colleagues in
the relaxed setting of Pocatello, Idaho, nestled in the picturesque
mountains of the Bannock Range. The conference promises to be
thought-provoking and will include a keynote by Lourdes Portillo on the
evening of March 4.
Many participants in last year’s conference commented on the friendly
atmosphere and the excellent diversity of topics presented. Here is a
sample of some of the comments:
“Everyone was so kind and gracious to all of the presenters, and all the
papers were truly top notch!”
“Since coming back to school I have had so many wonderful experiences and
met so many supportive people…this conference has been the epitome of this
transformation. It will take me a long time to digest all of the amazing
ideas presented here, and the friendships I’ve begun will last even longer.”
“What a great weekend! Thank you for an organized, professional experience.
I said…today that it is hard to come down off my Pocatello high (which is
something, prior to this weekend, I could never imagine that I would have
said.) It was very enjoyable, and I look forward to future conferences.”
It is our goal to continue in that tradition and to create a collegial,
supportive and nurturing environment for the discussion of gender issues
across the disciplines.
Please find attached a formal call for papers as well as an announcement of
our student paper competition. Both are also included immediately following
this letter, should you prefer not to open an attachment. On behalf of the
entire Conference Committee, we invite you to join us for this important
event.
Kind regards,
Rebecca Morrow, Ph.D.

THE ART OF GENDER IN EVERYDAY LIFE II
A Multidisciplinary Conference
Idaho State University
Pocatello, ID
March 4 & 5, 2005
ABSTRACT POSTMARK DEADLINE: Friday, October 8, 2004
Gender is not a given. Its meaning and significance are constantly in flux.
This conference will explore the various ways in which gender is crafted,
celebrated, endured, deciphered, expressed or, in short, the art of how it
is lived on a daily basis.
ALL submissions related to the art of living gendered lives will be
considered.
• The committee is especially interested in submissions that address the
following:
WOMEN’S STUDIES (WS) vs. GENDER STUDIES (GS)? (for example, differences in
content and program purpose, the assumption of inclusiveness in GS, the
relationship to issues of sexuality and gender identity, the place of WS in
light of GS, etc.)
THE COSTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT (upon, for example, future health behavior,
interpersonal relationships, the community, law enforcement, universities,
etc.)
GENDER AND MEN (for example: men & nonviolence; construction of masculinity)
* The committee will give special consideration, in recognition of Women’s
History Month, to any papers that incorporate a historical perspective and
especially those that consider the work of women “behind-the-scenes” whose
contributions may have formerly been overlooked.
* The committee is also especially interested in receiving submissions from
graduate and advanced undergraduate students. The committee will hold a
student paper competition and award prizes for the graduate and
undergraduate submissions they select.
PRESENTATION FORMATS: Presentations may take several different formats,
including:
papers (resulting from group work or individuals); posters; slide
presentations; films; readings; and performances. Presentations should be no
longer than 20 minutes in duration.
Complete panels can also be submitted. Panel submissions will only be
considered, however, if the following information is included: cover sheets
and abstracts for a complete group of four participants; and the specific
question to be addressed.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submissions will be accepted BY POST ONLY.
Please enclose the following items for the committee’s consideration:
1. an ABSTRACT of no more than 300 words
The title should appear clearly at the top of the abstract; the presenter’s
name should not appear on the abstract.
2. a COVER SHEET with the following information: presenter’s name;

email addresses and bios will be reproduced in a booklet for all presenters
4. a CHECK for the $45 registration fee made out to the Anderson Center;
this fee will help us to cover conference expenses including meal costs and
a ticket for keynote speaker Lourdes Portillo

will be destroyed.
