How feminist scholarship has affected knowledge How feminist scholarship has affected knowledge (March 30, 2005)

How has feminist scholarship affected the way we see art, the "bio-politics" of late motherhood, or the way we look at boys' development? How has it changed the nature of knowledge in the fields of history, art, literature and other disciplines?

These are some of the questions that will be addressed at "The Knowledge Revolution" conference on Saturday, April 2, presented by the Institute for Research on Women & Gender at Stanford University.

Free and open to the public, the conference will be held from 1:30 to 5 p.m. at the Stanford Humanities Center, 424 Santa Teresa St., on the university campus.

Senior scholar Karen Offen of Woodside and Wang Zheng, associate professor of women's studies at the University of Michigan, will give a talk titled "Revolutionizing Knowledge, East and West."
