Duke Feminist Theory Workshop Application

About

Now in its eighteenth year, the Duke Feminist Theory Workshop (FTW) has become a premier forum for interdisciplinary discussions of Feminist Theory in the US, offering a unique opportunity for internationally recognized faculty and young scholars to engage in sustained dialogue about feminist theory as a scholarly domain of inquiry. Seminars allow for focused participant exchange, roundtables synthesize central debates of the weekend, and provocative keynote lectures all bring those who attend the workshop into collaborative conversations.

The next workshop will be held at Duke University on March 21 and 22, 2025.  The keynote speakers for 2025 are Nicole Fleetwood (Paulette Goddard Professor of Media, Culture and Communication, New York University), Farah Jasmine Griffin (Professor of English and African American and African Diaspora Studies, Columbia University), Sophie Lewis (Independent Scholar), and Linda Zerilli (Professor of Political Science and Gender and Sexuality Studies, University of Chicago.  There will be additional special guests who will serve on the closing roundtable. You can find more information about the workshop here.
