Registration form

Since 2002, Simon’s Rock has joined with the Berkshire Chapter of UNIFEM (now called Berkshire Women for Women Worldwide) and other local women’s organizations to co-sponsor an annual conference in observance of International Women’s Day, March 8. The conference, directed by Simon’s Rock Women’s Studies professor Jennifer Browdy de Hernandez, features invited speakers from all over the country, as well as providing advanced Simon’s Rock students an opportunity to share their work in global women’s studies with a wider audience.  In general, the conference aims to focus attention on worldwide women’s issues, emphasizing ways in which students and members of the local community can take action to reach out to women in other regions of the world. It also raises funds for UNIFEM, the United Nations Development Fund for Women.
