Yet, throughout the world educating women and girls >is often not seen as a priority and women lag behind men in literacy rates >and access to education.

This >conference will examine the broad range of issues concerning educating >women and girls. Our definition of education includes but is not limited to >learning that takes place within formal educational institutions. We >encourage all educators and those concerned with educating women >and girls in schools or in the community to participate. > >Proposals for workshops, panel sessions of three papers, individual >papers, performances and exhibits are welcome. Examples of possible >topics: > >Feminist scholarship on girls >Women's Studies in the K-12 curriculum >Literacy programs for women >Women, girls and technology >Third Wave feminism and Women's Studies >Do girls learn differently? >Teaching across differences of race, class and age >Activism as education >Gender issues in experiential learning >Which girls drop out and why? >Teaching on sex and sexuality in conservative settings >Women's Studies and Michigan core curriculum >Global issues and women's education >Are our schools safe for all girls? >Women's Studies in India > >Deadline for submission of abstracts of no more than one page is >January 15, 1999.
