If you can’t make the Massachusetts conference on Women and the Media next weekend, don’t despair—two more feminist conferences are on their way.
The Civil Liberties and Public Policy Program at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA is having their annual Reproductive Rights conference from April 1-3 with some great speakers and workshops including Women of Color Organizing for Reproductive Justice; Knowing Your Body: Gynecological Self Help; and Criminalization of Sexuality.
And the Feminist Majority Foundation (perhaps taking a cue from NCWO?) is holding a National Collegiate Global Women’s and Human Rights Conference from April 8-11 in the DC area.
Kind of shitty that these are both in the northeast…any one know of conferences in other areas?

Not to spoil things more, but on May 7th the 5th annual Visions in Feminism conference will be held somewhere in/around DC (location will be announced soon). This year ViF is tackling self-representation. It’s a full day of workshops, roundtable discussions, and speakers. Free lunch and on-site childcare.
And leading up to the conference are film-screenings, girl dj nights, benefit shows, a craft fair/punk rock fleamarket and other fun events in DC and Baltimore.
