Sixteenth Annual Pacific Southwest Womens Studies Association
Conference:
Students and Teachers Working Together
Confronting Unnatural Disasters: Feminist Engagements Across and Within
Borders
 
April 22, 2006 - Occidental College, Los Angeles

horrific proportions
-- the Asian tsunami, hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean

these disasters and the devastation that has resulted from connected
human failings
is borne out disproportionately along gender, race, and class lines.
Such disasters

We look forward to energetic dialogue from interdisciplinary perspectives on these sub-themes:
