Over the last five years, participants from all across the university and the local community have demonstrated how they put social justice at the forefront of their interdisciplinary work. In addition to research that centers gender, equity and social justice, the symposium also offers interactive workshops, discussions and panels that highlight how to put theory into practice. We continue this rich tradition this year with support and guidance from our campus partners in the GLBT Center, the Study Abroad Office, NC State Libraries, Women's and Gender Studies, the Women of Welch Living and Learning Village and the Department of Biological Sciences.<\/span>\n\nGERS is open to all<\/strong> students, staff and faculty at NC State and surrounding college and university communities as well as activist organizations. We look forward to reading proposals and abstracts that engage our three main focus areas:<\/span>\n
