… is a conference planned by the Center for Inquiry.
FEMINISM AND SECULARISM.
Given the role religion has played in the repression of women, they would seem to be natural allies, and, indeed, many feminists have been outspoken and influential secularists. However, the relationship between secularism and women’s issues remains largely unexamined.UNTIL NOW.
Join us on May 18-20, 2012, for the “Women in Secularism” conference, sponsored by the Center for Inquiry. This historic conference will discuss and celebrate the many contributions women have made to the secular movement, while critically examining both the successes and failures of secularism in addressing women’s concerns.
I wish, JUST ONCE that one of these conferences be held on the Left Coast!
I’ve never been to any kind of conference like this (being a “not one to do things by himself” kind of person), but I may check this out.
