Subject: FMS Summer Institute: Intersecting Identities and Social Justice
Dear Sir or Madam,
As Coordinator of the Future of Minority Studies Research Project, it is
my pleasure to announce the third annual FMS Summer Institute, which will
be held during the last week of July and the first week of August (two
weeks in all) 2007 at Cornell University. It is geared to junior scholars
(that is, graduate students and junior faculty) working in minority
studies. Those selected to participate will be provided subsidy for their
expenses.
Please forward this message to the appropriate departments, programs, and
email lists. A poster (8.5" x 11") can be downloaded from
http://www.fmsproject.cornell.edu. (For your convenience, I will include
the poster in a separate email, which I will send you in a few minutes.
That email will have "FMS Summer Institute Poster" in the subject line.)
I would appreciate it if you could post this announcement (and/or the
poster) in any bulletins or publications you feel may be relevant.
Thank you for your time.

FMS 2007 Summer Seminar
July 23 - August 3, 2007
"Intersecting Identities and Social Justice:
Realist Explorations"
Seminar Leaders
Linda Martín Alcoff
Philosophy and Women's Studies
Syracuse University
&
Satya P. Mohanty
English
Cornell University
Seminar Description:
Can social identities be studied "objectively"? What are the
philosophical and political differences among realist, essentialist,
strategic-essentialist, and postmodernist approaches to identity? Why is
a realist theoretical approach important for or relevant to the quest for
social justice?
This interdisciplinary seminar will address such questions and focus
centrally on the ways our social identities "intersect," overlapping and
often mutually constituting one another. Readings from a range of fields
in the humanities and the social sciences, including such thinkers as
Richard Boyd, Kimberle Crenshaw, W. E. B. Du Bois, Leslie Feinberg,
Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Robert Gooding-Williams, Ian Hacking, Daniel
Little, Tobin Siebers and Iris Young.
For a more detailed course description (and to download a 8 x 11 poster),

The seminar will incorporate three workshops taught by:
o Richard Boyd (Philosophy, Cornell University)
o William Darity, Jr. (Economics; Sociology; Institute for African
American Research, U of North Carolina - Chapel Hill; Duke)
o Rosemarie Garland-Thomson (Women's Studies, Emory) and Tobin Siebers
(Comparative Literature, University of Michigan)
Seminar members will participate in the two-day colloquium organized by
the Future of Minority Studies Research Project on July 27-28.
Eligibility:
Doctoral students who have completed at least two years of their Ph.D.
work and junior faculty in temporary or tenure-track positions who are
working on minority issues. Minority scholars and those who are at HBCUs
and other minority-serving institutions are especially encouraged to
apply. For the twelve scholars selected to participate in the summer
institute, subsidy will be available to cover room, board, and (if needed)
travel costs. FMS does not charge tuition or fees.
Application deadline: January 30, 2007.
The FMS Summer Institute is funded through a grant from the Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation
