SUMMARY:RWSA Triennial Conference 2021
DESCRIPTION:“Kitchen Table Talk to Global Forum”Due to the circums
 tances resulting from COVID-19, the 2021 RWSA Triennial Conference is 
 going virtual. Although we regret that we can not meet in person as or
 iginally planned, we are excited about the opportunity to host a virtu
 al conference that allows for a more diverse range of panel presentati
 ons and participants. Any paper and panel submissions that have alread
 y been made will still be considered; however, we have extended the de
 adline to allow for additional submissions to be made until Sept. 30, 
 2020.\r\nThe theme “Kitchen Table Talk to Global Forum” emphasizes
  how conversations, relationships, and food shape rural communities. T
 his theme allows for the consideration of the ways that gendered, sexu
 al, ethnic, and racial identities affect personal power, class conscio
 usness, individual choice, and community development. These subjects l
 end themselves to the exploration of rural activism, social justice, i
 nnovation, politics, business development, cultural expression, self-g
 overnance, and collective experiences — both historical and contempo
 rary — in local, regional, national, and global settings.\r\nRWSA is
  an international association founded in 1997 to promote and advance f
 arm and rural women’s/gender studies in a historical perspective by 
 encouraging research, promoting scholarship, and establishing and main
 taining links with organizations that share these goals. RWSA welcomes
  public historians and archivists, graduate students, and representati
 ves of rural organizations and communities as conference participants 
 and members, in addition to academic scholars from diverse fields, inc
 luding sociology, anthropology, literature and languages, Indigenous S
 tudies, and history.\r\nPresentations take many forms at this virtual 
 RWSA conference. Possibilities include workshops, panel sessions, virt
 ual tours, interactive sessions, roundtable discussions, poster presen
 tations, open-mic discussions, performances, readings, and audiovisual
  presentations. As much as possible, presentations and conference acti
 vities will take place in a synchronous environment. Virtual tours, po
 sters, or other forms of presentations may be pre-recorded with the co
 nsent of the program committee.\r\nThe theme: “Kitchen Table Talk to
  Global Forum” encourages exploration of several sub-themes:\r\n\r\n
 Women and mental health\r\nWomen and food justice\r\nIndigenous rural 
 women\r\nWomen and food tourism\r\nWomen and technological and biologi
 cal innovation (media, healthcare, equipment)\r\nWhat’s on the table
