FEMINISM, CRITICAL THEORY AND THE LAW: A
CANADIAN CONFERENCE

Faculty of Law, Windsor, Ontario

Feminism, Critical Theory and the Law: A Canadian Conference is seeking letters of intent, paper/workshop proposals and draft papers for this conference to be held following the Learneds. The purpose of the conference is to share work and thinking that falls into the genres of critical feminism, critical legal theory and feminist praxis. The organizers are particularly interested in exploring the possibility that Canadian women have a unique perspective on feminism, critical theory and law (no conference on feminism and critical legal theory has yet been held in this country). Direct inquiries to Kathleen Lahey, Telephone (519)253-4232 (ext. 2952) or William Conklin (ext. 2964), both at the Faculty of Law, University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, N9B 3P4.

SEXUALITY: TODAY' S PERSONAL AND SOCIAL DILEMMAS

The 9th Annual Guelph Conference on Sexuality

This is the ninth in a series of annual conferences on sexuality presented by the Department of Family Studies in the College of Family and Consumer Studies, and the Division of Continuing Education, University of Guelph. Over 600 participants from across Canada and the United States attended last year's conference. The Guelph Conference draws together educators, nurses, physicians, social workers and clergy to hear leading figures in the field and to share professional experiences and insights. The Conference provides a unique and significant opportunity for both interdisciplinary and inter-provincial exchanges among professionals.

Relationship and sexual issues are concerns of almost everyone. Currently, we are witnessing much confusion and serious questioning of our sexual attitudes and behaviours. In the analysis and discussion of these issues, the 1987 Conference will help participants better understand many of the relationship and sexual problems facing our society. By dealing with practical concerns, the conference will assist professionals in developing their own insights and expertise while improving the programs they offer to young people and adults. For further information write to: Division of Continuing Education, Room 160, Johnston Hall, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1, or Telephone -(519)824-4120 (ext. 3957). Payment for phone registration is accepted on VISA or Master Card only.

THE CANADIAN REVIEW OF SOCIOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY

The review is planning a special issue on feminist scholarship. Preference will be given to papers that develop feminist theory or are informed by recent feminist theoretical work. Papers will go through the normal CRSA review process and should conform to the regular journal format and length. Deadline: May 15, 1987. Send papers to: Professor Pat Armstrong, Vanier College, 821 Ste-Croix, St-Laurent, Quebec, H4L 3X9 or Professor Roberta Hamilton, Department of Sociology, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario K7L 3N6.
