Gender, Bodies & Technology
An Interdisciplinary Conference
April 22-24, 2010
Roanoke, VA
Presented by the Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Virginia Tech

Performance art and new media, in addition to more traditional paper  
presentations, will be used to explore how technologies, broadly  
defined, construct, reinforce and destabilize gendered bodies. The  
format is designed to be inclusive, provocative and sociable.

The conference includes an opening plenary address by Jennifer Terry;  
a luncheon keynote by Alondra Nelson; the premiere of Fig.1, a solo  
performance on aging and body image by Mark Evans Bryan featuring Sue  
Ott Rowlands; and a plenary showcasing examples of new media and  
performance art that engage gender, bodies and technology  
through...gender, bodies and technology.

Join us at the beautiful and historic Hotel Roanoke. The early bird  
registration deadline is March 1. For more information, please visit
