Participants are first-generation and low-income students and students historically underrepresented in graduate school who have demonstrated interest in and academic potential for doctoral programs. Institutions work closely with participants as they complete their undergraduate requirements. Institutions encourage participants to enroll in graduate programs and then track their progress through to the successful completion of advanced degrees. The goal is to increase the attainment of Ph.D. degrees by students from historically marginalized backgrounds. All McNair projects must provide the following activities: opportunities for research or other scholarly activities; summer internships; seminars and other educational activities designed to prepare students for doctoral study; tutoring; academic counseling; and activities designed to assist students participating in the project in securing admission to and financial assistance for enrollment in graduate programs. McNair projects may also provide the following additional activities: education or counseling services DR. RONALD E. MCNAIR designed to improve financial and economic literacy of students; mentoring programs involving faculty members at institutions of Dr. Ronald E. McNair was the second African American astronaut higher education or students, or any combination of such persons; to join NASA. He was born to a family in racially segregated South and exposure to cultural events and academic programs not usually Carolina and had an affinity for science and space early on in his available to historically underrepresented students. childhood. He overcame many structural barriers to pursue his love of learning, major in Physics, and graduate magna cum laude from North Carolina A&T State University, Greensboro. Afterwards, he attended M.I.T. to attain his Ph.D. in Physics by the age of 26. Dr. McNair was nationally recognized for his work in the field of laser physics. In addition, he received three honorary doctorates, a score of fellowships and commendations, a black belt in karate, and a reputation as an accomplished saxophonist. Dr. McNair flew his first mission as an astronaut in 1984 and was aboard the Challenger space shuttle that exploded on lift-off in January 1986. He died tragically at the age of 35. The federal programs that carry his name seek to equip students with knowledge, courage, and an unshakable will to succeed. The program encourages first-generation, low-income, and historically underrepresented students to pursue post-baccalaureate studies specifically leading to doctoral degrees. 3 WELCOME LETTER CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES July 27, 2021 Dear Friends of the UCLA McNair Research Scholars Program, Please accept my warmest wishes and congratulations on the occasion of the 2021 Virtual National McNair Conference at University of California, Los Angeles.

  • Australian Women's History Network Conference 2016 'Intersection In
    Australian Women’s History Network Conference 2016 ‘Intersection in History’ Welcome to country: Diane Kerr Diane Kerr is a Wurundjeri Elder who identifies with the Ganun Willam Balak clan. She is also a ​ member of the Yulendj Group ­ the Bunjilaka Community Reference Group for the First Peoples ​ exhibition at the Melbourne Museum. PLENARY PANELS Intersectionality and the Writing of Women’s History Thursday 31 March, 9.15am Speakers: Professor Ann Curthoys, Dr Crystal Feimster, Professor Lynette Russell, Dr Zora Simic Chair: Dr Jane Carey ‘Intersectionality’ has recently become a hot topic across sociology and allied areas, and has even crossed into popular forums. First proposed by Kimberle Crenshaw in 1989, this framework insists that multiple categories of analysis (gender, race, class, and sexuality among others) must be deployed together to understand social processes and experiences, and specific forms of oppression. It is thus a platform for critique of existing scholarship which fails to take account of the multiplicity of differences which shape both individuals and collectives. In many ways it has overlapped with, or is an expression of, critiques of white/western feminism. Our panel proceeds in part from the understanding that women’s history has actually paid attention to multiple categories of analysis for quite some time – although these contributions are not well recognised and they have not always used the term 'intersectionality'. What, then, are the specific implications of intersectionality for the writing of women’s

It contributes to current scholarly efforts to revisit the 1970s by reconsidering often- repeated narratives about the critical naivety of feminist literary criticism in its initial articulation. As the story now goes, many of the most prominent feminist thinkers of the period engaged in unsophisticated literary analysis by conflating lived social reality with textual representation when they read works of literature as documentary evidence of real life. As a result, the work of these “bad critics,” particularly Kate Millett and Andrea Dworkin, has not been fully accounted for in literary critical terms.

Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing of Contents is published by the Office of the University of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing public awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum offeminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to a journal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan.

Table of contents pages from current issues of major feministjournals are reproduced in each issueof Feminist Periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As publication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP.

  • Conference Program
    Association for the Study of Literature and Environment Eleventh Biennial Conference __________________ University of Idaho Moscow A History of UI The University of Idaho opened its doors on Oct. 3, 1892, when it welcomed about 40 students and one professor, John Edwin Ostrander. On June 11, 1896, the university graduated its first class when four students marched across a stage to receive their diplomas. Two years later, the university awarded its first graduate degree. The hiring in 1908 of the nation's premier landscape architects, Olmsted Brothers of Massachusetts, whose firm's founding father designed New York's Central Park, led to the small-town New England look of the campus. President Theodore Roosevelt was the first U.S. president to visit the campus in 1911. He planted the first tree in Presidential Grove. In 1976 the new ASUI-Kibbie Dome won a national engineering structural achievement award. Its sound structure has withstood roaring cheers of Vandal fans (as well as the groans and occasional wailings of rival teams) ever since. Today, the university is home to nearly 12,000 students and nearly 3,159 faculty and staff. It continues to be a leading place of learning in Idaho and the West, because although it is ever-responsive to the changing needs of its students and society, it never forgets its roots and traditions. Thank You! Many thanks to our hosts at the University of Idaho: We also owe a debt of gratitude to: Chuck Staben, President Reception sponsors Oxford University Press, Milkweed John Wiencek, Provost Editions
