PLATTEVILLE - Four University of Wisconsin-Platteville students will showcase their undergraduate, interdisciplinary research on black women's experiences in the United States in a panel at the third annual 4W Summit on Women, Gender, and Well-Being and the 41st annual Wisconsin Women's and Gender Studies Conference to be held April 12-14 at the Pyle Center at UW-Madison.
UW-Platteville's panel, "Interdisciplinary Knowledge Building: Black Women's Experience in the United States," includes Meghan Weber, a junior English education major from Darlington.
The summit is organized by the UW System Women's and Gender Studies Consortium and the UW-Madison 4W Initiative and is co-sponsored by several programs in the UW system and other institutions in Wisconsin or Minnesota. Students, faculty, activists, artists and community members will present their research at 79 panels and three poster sessions at the summit.
The purpose of the conference is to collectively discuss and consider how gender informs culture, society, environment, economy and social justice. The broadly-defined theme of the conference is "Our Bodies, Our Earth: Voice, Violence and Peacemaking," from across the disciplines, addressing research, scholarship, program development, action research, pedagogy, curriculum, creative work and/or community activism.
