Drury University: Global Feminism Conference |
 | | For the panelists (assembled from Kenya, New Zealand, South Africa, Croatia, India, the Netherlands, Peru, Trinidad, Canada, and the United States), the conference was the culmination of a year long program sponsored by the Center of New Institutional Social Sciences (CNISS) and the New Century Scholars (NCS) program of the Fulbright Foundation. |
 | | Drury students were engaged throughout the presentations, and asked important questions about the politics of compassionate research and the role of cultural relativism in the global world. |
 | | By meeting with these scholars from around the globe, Drury students also interacted with students from campuses in other cities to further their own insights about how feminist scholarship contributes to state building and creating new ways of negotiating their positions around the world. |
