ENGENDERING AFRICANA STUDIES

A SUMMER INSTITUTE
On Critical Theory, Black Womyn Scholarship and Africana Studies

June 29 - July 10, 2003

Sponsored by

THE AFRICANA STUDIES AND RESEARCH CENTER
AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY

The Summer Institute will focus on the development of critical theory and research on the Experience of Womyn of African Descent as integral to the intellectual, pedagogical, and curricula advancement of the discipline of Africana Studies. The objective of the Institute will be to engage a discourse that will expand the construction of paradigms in Africana Studies such that it will be more fully informed by the standpoint of Black womyn's experiences.

The Institute will also provide an opportunity for exchange between senior scholars of Black Womyn Studies and graduate students and recent Ph.D.s whose work concentrates on Black womyn?s experience(s). Daily seminars will be conducted by leading African American scholars whose work specializes on Black womyn. Applicants accepted as ?Fellows? in the Summer Institute will be expected to make presentations on aspects of their work or research interests that relate to Black womyn.

A limited number of Fellowships are available for travel and lodging, in addition to a small stipend. Access to the John Henrik Clarke Library and other Cornell libraries will be available to Fellows for research during their participation in the Summer Institute.

Applications will be accepted through May 10, 2003. To request an application or more information, please contact:
