“Understanding, Defining, and Preventing Violence”
March 24-26, 2017
to be held at Christopher Newport University, Newport News, Virginia
This interdisciplinary conference seeks to foster inquiries into the complex and multifocal issues faced by women and girls around the world, both historically and today. We invite scholars from all academic disciplines to submit proposals addressing the political, social, economic, psychological, sociological, developmental, educational, literary, artistic, philosophical, religious, ethical and health issues of women and girls. The conference seeks not only to clarify key questions that must be asked in this vital area of public policy but also to unearth the forces that created these current dilemmas. Submissions from any academic discipline are welcome. We invite professionals in both academic and nonacademic settings to submit proposals.
