Keynotes by the amazing (and Texas-born) Loretta Ross, longtime human rights and women's health activist, and the fabulous Marianne Kirby, author and size acceptance activist, plus a bunch of great local folks offering panels and workshops
**If you just want to see Loretta Ross, that's cool. She's speaking in the Utopia Theater in the School of Social Work Building at 2:00PM, doors opening at 1:45PM, and this part of the event is FREE.**
Panels and workshops will cover: media images of women of color, size acceptance, the budget cuts at UT, sex work, what the heck "intersectionality" means and why it's cool, and more!
The sliding-scale registration fee ($10-$30, pay what you can) covers all conference activities, Vagina Monologues attendance on Friday, April 1, and breakfast and lunch on Saturday, April 2. Such a deal!
