Skip Main MenuMain Menu | Available CoursesField work in Spain including 10th International Interdisciplinary Congress on Women This advanced study in women’s studies is designed to serve as a capstone integration course for students with minors in this field. We will review key issues in feminist theory, research, and practice, with a particular emphasis on gender in national, international and transnational settings. This course will also prepare students to participate in the 10th International Interdisciplinary Congress on Women in Madrid Spain in July 2008. The conference will explore such issues as gendered aspects of migration and immigration, illegal trafficking of women, women as cheap labor, racism, xenophobia, and violence against women. In addition, participating scholars and activists will examine new avenues, strategies, and ties among people who are fighting for gender equality and social justice around the World. Following the conference students will study gender issues in Spain, with particular attention to the relationship between gender and nationalism in the Basque Country. | St. Martin's University Calendar
