DESCRIPTION:<p>THE UNIVERSITY OF HAIFA IS PLEASED TO HOST</p>\n<p>The Twenty Fourth International Conference of the Simone de Beauvoir Society</p>\n<p>Simone de Beauvoir&rsquo\;s Feminism(s)</p>\n<p>UNIVERSITY OF HAIFA\, ISRAEL\, JUNE 19-21\, 2017</p>\n<p>The influence of Simone de Beauvoir&rsquo\;s thought on Feminism and Feminist Theory is indisputable. Beauvoir&rsquo\;s <em>The Second Sex</em> is unanimously recognized as one of the main pillars of feminist thought and as a major work of the 20th Century. <em>The Second Sex</em> has informed both feminist thought and feminist political struggle and activism.</p>\n<p>Beauvoir&rsquo\;s feminism is nevertheless not only reflected through <em>The Second Sex\,</em> but also through other philosophical and theoretical books and papers\, short essays as well as her fiction and literary works. &nbsp\;Thus\, we might ask: What kind of feminism does Beauvoir advocate? Or\, are there in fact many &ldquo\;Beauvoir&rsquo\;s feminisms&rdquo\;? How are these feminisms connected to other both past and contemporary feminist ideas and feminist struggles?</p>\n<p>The 24th International Conference of the Simone de Beauvoir Society will take place at the University of Haifa\, Israel\, from June 19-21\, 2017\, hosted by the Women&rsquo\;s and Gender Studies Graduate Program in collaboration with the Philosophy Department. We welcome submissions on Beauvoir&rsquo\;s life and works from a broad range of disciplines. Papers that engage and challenge Beauvoir&rsquo\;s feminist ideas and those that analyze Beauvoir&rsquo\;s feminist work in relation to contemporary political action and theoretical work are desired\, but all work on Beauvoir will be considered.&nbsp\;We welcome work from a variety of perspectives- historical\, philosophical\, literary\, comparative analyses\, among others.</p>\n<p>Keynote Speakers: Prof. Nancy Bauer\, Prof. Debra Bergoffen\, Prof. Gail Weiss.</p>\n<p>To submit your proposal\, please send an abstract of no more than 800 words in English and a short Curriculum Vitae including your contact details and institutional affiliation\, if any\, to the conference organizer: Dr. Sara Cohen Shabot\, before February 15th\, 2017.</p>\n<p>scohensh@univ.haifa.ac.il</p>
