Annual Theme Events for 2008-09

Global Feminisms

For the 2008-9 academic year, the Center for Women's and Gender Studies at UT Austin is proud to sponsor a year of thought provoking and stimulating events examining these questions on Global Feminisms: Can feminism survive the rush to globalization? Can women in Rwanda teach Americans how to organize electoral campaigns? Can Iranian women teach Chinese women how to win gender equity?

Join us as the Center for Women's and Gender Studies explores the ways in which women across the world have advanced both their own cultural agendas and the shared concerns of all women. Throughout the year, we will screen films, present speakers and conduct workshops focused on the shared struggle for gender equity around the globe.

Feminism has many faces: it is by learning about those who are different as well as those who are like us that we come to understand our own lives better.
