Teaching Literary Studies in the Women’s and Gender Studies Classroom

Please spread the word to interested colleagues.  We’re putting together a roundtable for the 2012 Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) conference, March 15-18 in Rochester, New York:

Teaching Literary Studies in the Women’s and Gender Studies Classroom (Roundtable)

While many scholars in literary and cultural studies focus on feminist issues, the field of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGS) has coalesced into its own discipline, frequently oriented toward the social sciences and not the humanities. This roundtable will explore what the study of literature has to offer students in various classrooms (literary studies, WGS, and cross-listed courses) and to WGS more broadly. Please send abstracts to Deborah Uman, duman@sjfc.edu and Heather Hewett,hewetth@newpaltz.edu.
