Call for Papers: Gender & Women's Studies Conference at Villanova

We are so happy to announce that after a reluctant hiatus, this year's Gender and Women’s Studies Conference is ON! This year's Conference Chair is Dr. Lauren Shohet, Professor of English. The event will take place on Friday, March 25, 2022.

The GWS conference is an exciting opportunity to showcase student work, discuss your interests in Gender and Women’s Studies with students and faculty from Villanova, and see the broad range of intellectual disciplines represented in the field.

We are including in this announcement our annual Call for Papers. We are seeking essays and creative work written either for the conference or during Spring or Fall of 2020 or 2021 that engage gender, sexuality, or feminist theories.

We encourage submission of alternative forms of expression, including but not limited to original scripts, poetry, or films that engage gender analysis.

We hope that Villanova students across departments and programs will submit their work; these are the following categories for submissions:

1. Papers or creative works by first year undergraduates (4-10 pages)

2. Papers or creative works by sophomores, juniors, and seniors (5-20 pages)

3. Papers or creative works by graduate students (12-30 pages)

The deadline for submissions is Friday, February 11th. Submissions should be emailed to gws@villanova.edu.
