Feminist Pedagogy: Transforming Silence Into Action

The Midwest Modern Language Association conference will be held
November 13-16, 2008 in Minneapolis. The Women's Caucus invites 250
word abstracts on the following topic:
"Feminist Pedagogy: Transforming Silence Into Action." The question
here is how do we as feminist teachers, especially teachers of
language and literature, engage our students in the rich and
meaningful relationship between theory and practice, teaching and
activism? We invite papers that explore strategies for achieving
this goal, for example service learning, teaching language as
activism, community research, and campus organizing.

Please send abstracts to me privately, via email at the address
below, by April 15, 2008. Additional information about the
conference can be found at
