Description
Summary:In her view, we need NWSA 1) to foster interdisciplinary scholarship; 2) to promote feminist theory, pedagogy, practice; 3) to create a sense of professional identity; 4) to foster a space in which to mentor women's studies graduate students; and 5) to nurture feminist community.
