This interdisciplinary conference looks like it will be mighty good.
- Wesleyan University will be hosting a conference called “Sex, Gender and Species” on February 25 and 26, 2011. The purpose of this conference is to foreground the relations between feminist and animal studies and to examine the real and theoretical problems that are central to both fields of inquiry. Conference organizers Lori Gruen and Kari Weil are seeking 1-2 page abstracts by October 1, 2010. Abstracts can be sent to lgruen@wesleyan.edu or kweil@wesleyan.edu.

Dear Sir,
I am highly interested in the conference. I would like to know whether the organizers extends scholarship opportunities to animal welfare/rights NGOs in Africa, say Sierra Leone for example..
