Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference

Gamble Room, 361 Rush Rhees Library
University of Rochester
The Susan B. Anthony Institute announces the Ninth Annual Gender and
Women's Studies Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference, Friday October 19, 2001.
This year, the conference date has been changed to early in the Fall to allow
it to be used for organizing the year's events to make maximum use of the Institute's
support for your research and study, and to encourage students to get to know
one another early in the year. We invite you to try out work in this supportive
environment.
The conference is co-sponsored by: Department of English, Film and Media Studies
Program, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Friends Association, Graduate Organizing
Group, and Department of History.
