Holly May Treadwell, a PhD candidate with the School of English, has been awarded one of five Feminist Theory Workshop International Travel awards, allowing her to attend the conference at Duke University in North Carolina in March.
The Feminist Theory Workshop, now in its fourteenth year, offers a unique opportunity for internationally recognised academics and scholars to engage in sustained dialogue about feminist theory as a scholarly domain of inquiry. Small seminars allow for focused participant exchange, roundtables synthesize central debates of the weekend, and provocative keynote lectures encourage collaborative conversations between attendees.
Strictly limited to 250 attendees and featuring keynote speakers including Judith Butler (Berkeley), Anne Anlin Cheng (Princeton), Sharon Holland (North Carolina Chapel Hill) and Audra Simpson (Columbia), this year’s Feminist Theory Workshop promises to be the premier forum for discussions of Feminist Theory in the United States. We’re pleased Holly May is going to be able to attend and we look forward to hearing her thoughts on the Workshop on her return.
