Are you interested in gender and feminist issues in Africa? Did you find the nomination of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Leyma Gbowee for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011 inspiring? If so,  you might be interested in being part of the organizing committee for a spring 2013 symposium on the topic of “African Feminisms.” The African Studies Cluster is looking for students to take part in the process of deciding which speakers to invite, and in the planning and organizing of the symposium itself. This is a great chance to make sure that speakers come to campus to talk about the issues that interest you, and it will also look great on your CV. If you want to get involved, or have any questions, email Prof Sarah Croucher (scroucher@wesleyan.edu).
