Title
Expanding the Women's Activist Agenda Conference: Directory of Participants
Description
This Directory of Participants provided information on all those who participated in the "Expanding the Women's Activist Agenda: Uniting Activists, Researchers, Funders and Policymakers" conference at the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center on October 16 and 17, 1995. This conference was convened by the CUNY Center for the Study of Women and Society's (CSWS) director Joyce Gelb, the CUNY Howard Samuels Center's director Marilyn Gittell, and the New York Women's Foundation executive director, Sheila Holderness. The directory provided the names and contact information of the conference's steering committee, coordinator, speakers, participants, and graduate student recorders. In total, there were 43 speakers, 100 participants, and ten student recorders.
Since 1977, the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS), Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY) has promoted interdisciplinary feminist scholarship. The Center’s research agenda focuses on the intersectional study of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, and nation in societies worldwide. The Center co-sponsors the Women’s Studies Certificate Program and, most notably, hosts the only stand-alone Women’s and Gender Studies MA Program in New York City.
