I still don't get it about Race, Gender or Sexual Orientation. Nothing ever gets done, it remains a bunch of rhetoric... one year later:

October 4, 2007 Feminist Symposium: “The F Word” Angela Oh @ 3:59 pm
The F Word is an all-day symposium being held Friday, October 26 at the Alexander Library Teleconference Room. Registration is required, free and open to all disciplines.
Feminism in the visual arts remains as fiercely contested today as it was thirty-five years ago. Despite recent backlash against feminist concerns and even an atmosphere of anti-feminism among younger scholars, in terms of both artistic representation and criticism, feminism remains highly relevant. The legacy of 2nd generation feminism has been explored in several recent art historical conferences. This symposium seeks to extend this investigation by examining how feminism currently informs a broad range of discourse within the visual arts. We hope to create a view of feminism that acknowledges society’s systematic exclusion of
minorities as well as women. This perspective will dispel stereotypical portrayals of feminists while also examining feminism’s relationship to institutional critique, queer theory, and issues of race, class, and gender. These issues are distilled in the subjects of body, space, and performance, which are the three panels that comprise our symposium. We aim both to reaffirm and re-appraise the state of feminism today and its direction for the future. Our title invokes the boat-rocking, bold attitudes of our 2nd generation feminist forbearers, whose spirit informs and inspires this process of new discovery.

Oi vey! Should be much fodder for blogs and a good face for the political cartoonists. The wife will look good on Better Homes and Gardens. Just wish Tiger Woods was the VP so we could have an arab,an asian, a caucasian and an african in the executive branch all at the same time.
Will somebody please show Biden where the bar is! Forget about it.
