Duke Feminist Theory Workshop (FTW) Application

About

The Feminist Theory Workshop (FTW) has, since the first gathering in 2007, promoted diverse dialogue among scholars of feminist theory and fostered a vibrant intellectual community. To that end, each year the workshop brings together internationally recognized keynote speakers and emerging young scholars to engage in lively and focused debate.

The “workshop” approach of this conference requires active participation of both presenters and attendees. 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.

Specific dates, keynote speakers, and registration details for the upcoming 20th Annual Feminist Theory Workshop in 2027 have not yet been officially announced by the Program in Gender, Sexuality & Feminist Studies at Duke University. [1]

Yale is an Institutional Co-Sponsor of the Duke FTW, and the Program in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) can support transportation and lodging for 2-3 graduate student attendees.
