Southern Discomfort: Gender Discipline in the Rural Southeast

The Student Caucus of the Southeastern Women’s Studies Association invites abstracts to be submitted for consideration as part of a panel embedded in the general conference, dedicated to the theme of:

Space and Place
or
The politics of doing, studying, teaching gender theory in the United States Rural Southeast

How do undergraduate and graduate students in the U.S. Southeast sustain their gendered consciousness inside (teaching and learning) and outside (at home, at work, in their communities) of the classroom/university?  Must gender savvy pedagogies, lifestyles and attitudes wait for urban graduate school migration?  What are the effects of studying/teaching gender theory in the Rural US SE? How does our discipline position us? And, how are we as learners, scholars, and practitioners disciplined by our spatial situatedness?

Abstracts (300 Words) should be submitted to:
