Exciting Updates!!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all had a fantastic reading week and are now sufficiently rested and ready to go for the rest of the semester! For those of you who are not in school or are on sabbatical (Ann and Fiona), I hope you're all reading and doing things the rest of us wish we could be doing right now!!

I just wanted to let you all know about some exciting updates that the WS Society has to announce!

First off, we are planning the first (?) ever UPEI Women's Studies Conference, set for October 23-24, 2009. Posters for the call for paper submissions have been designed by the lovely Kerrilynn, and have been printed and sent off to the various universities and colleges in Atlantic Canada, as well as Concordia and McGill Universities (in Montreal). More information will follow, but if you require some info before I post more updates, please contact me, Ann, Kerrilynn, or Marianne!!

Secondly, after a bit of an unintentional hiatus, the Babes Beyond Borders film series will continue with its second movie of the semester - Mona Lisa Smile! We are still in the process of determining which friday works the best for everyone - March 6th or 13th - and we'd like your feedback! Please post a comment on this blog post, or send us an email at upei_wst_society@hotmail.com. I'll have that information up for you all asap!!!

Anyway, that's all for now - just wanted to give you guys a bit of a teaser update before the official info hits the airwaves!! Bye for now,

Erica

I would be interested in receiving your submission guidelines as well. The Beautiful Women Project (www.beautifulwomenproject.org) is a traveling photo documentary of thirty five women ranging in age from three to ninety with the message that it is the sum of a woman's life experiences that make her beautiful. Thank you.
