Big news on the UMSL campus: On Saturday, October 26, 2013, the American Association of University Women (AAUW) is hosting the first national gathering of educators who teach women’s and gender studies in middle and high school, the AAUW Gender Studies Symposium, Creating Classrooms of Justice: Teaching Gender Studies in School. Featuring high school teacher and esteemed activist Ileana Jiménez (Feminist Teacher) and an exciting array of panel discussions, this one-day event at the University of Missouri, St. Louis, is open to attendees from across the country. The AAUW symposium is an outstanding opportunity for those currently teaching women’s and gender studies, both in college and at secondary schools, to connect in person and to form a supportive, nationwide network. Sessions will focus on providing educators who want to introduce women’s and gender studies into their schools’ curricula with guidance on how to do so. In addition, the event will offer a platform for school administrators, academics, and activists to connect with teachers to generate ways to collaborate. We are very pleased to invite you to join the conversation, learn, and share your vision for bringing women’s and gender studies to today’s classrooms. Each panel session will have time set aside for participants to engage in exciting dialogue with women’s studies teachers and professors as well as activists. There will also be a networking lunch and an afternoon session on creating collaborative partnerships. Please forward this invitation to educators, professors, activists, and other leaders you think would be interested in joining the conversation. For more information, see our agenda and list of speakers. Register to attend by October 5, 2013. Cost The $25 registration fee includes a full day of sessions, breakfast, and a networking lunch.
