Prof. Smith leads panel on 'Feminist Critiques of Globalization'

Jill S. Smith, visiting instructor of German, organized and moderated a panel at this year's national conference of Women in German in Carrollton, Ky. The panel, "Women in the Fortress Europe: Feminist Critiques of Globalization," addressed how the issue of globalization and women's roles therein is thematized in recent German literature, film, and theoretical texts. She also presented a paper, "Righteous Women and Lost Girls: Turn-of-the-Century German Feminist Discourse on Prostitution in Berlin," at the annual convention of the German Studies Association (GSA) in New Orleans.
