ANNOUNCEMENT:  FRONTLINE FEMINISMS CONFERENCE

The Center for Women in Coalition at the University of California,
Riverside is organizing a conference, "Frontline Feminisms:  Women,
War, and Resistance" to take place on campus January 16-18, 1997.
Participants will discuss the forging of new feminisms in the context
of militarized situations around the world.  The conference aims to
link feminist activist and grass-roots organizers engaged in innovative
feminist praxes with a gathering of scholars and policy-makers engaged
in theorizing conflict and promoting cooperation.

Featured participants will include women from the Balkans, the Middle
East, Central America, South Asia, East Asia, Africa, and the United
States.

Workshop, film/video, visual art, creative writing and paper proposals
are due August 1.  All scholars and activists interested in attending
are invited to send their mailing and/or e-mail addresses to the
organizers for inclusion on the mailing list.

Conference registration will be $30 and modestly-priced lodging will be
available.  (Registration and lodging can be waived in case of need.)
