Call for papers: Global Gender Justice Symposium
The Gender Justice Research Community at George Mason University is sponsoring a one-day Global Gender Justice symposium to be held April 17, 2008 on the Fairfax campus of George Mason University. The keynote speaker will be Chilean poet, essayist, and human rights activist Marjorie Agosin, winner of numerous awards for both her human rights work and her literary achievements.

We currently envision 15-minute presentations by individual participants, but welcome proposals forother formats, particularly when necessary for collaborative and/or creative presentations.
