"Subjectified is a film that rejects the political boundaries that divide women in America. Instead, it presents a real, human picture of the diversity of sexual experiences from women around the country. If you've ever found yourself wondering about the real people behind stereotypes, you'll have to look further than the sound bite-style reality television that surrounds us. Through in-depth interviews, filmmaker Melissa Tapper Goldman lets women do the talking, trading easy answers for brutal honesty. While the stories may sound familiar, the women approach them in altogether unexpected ways: sometimes hilarious, sometimes disturbing and often complex. Subjectified will change the way you think about female sexuality."

Q&A with Director will follow the film.

Presented by Women in Film and Video: New England and MIT's Program in Women's and Gender Studies

Friday, February 5, 2010
UCLA FACULTY CENTER
Thinking Gender is a public conference highlighting graduate student research on
women, sexuality and gender across all disciplines and historical periods. We invite
submissions for individual papers or pre‐constituted panels.
This year we are particularly interested in research on labor, social justice, public policy,
the global and globalization, race and ethnicity in the Americas, and the “new” economy
(austerity) and its effects on women and people of color. Additionally, because this year
is the Center for the Study of Women’s 25th anniversary, we are especially interested in
topics relating to feminism’s past and present, such as the state of feminism, changing
notions of feminism, post‐feminism or third‐wave feminism, feminist community/ies
both off and online, and feminist icons and leaders.
For individual papers, please submit a Thinking Gender cover sheet, 250‐word abstract, a CV
(2 pages max, no resumes, please), and a brief bibliography (1 page max). For panels,
please submit a 250‐word description of the panel topic in addition to the materials
required for the individual paper submissions. Please download cover sheet form and
reference submission guidelines at http://www.csw.ucla.edu/thinkinggender.html, and
note that only complete applications adhering to the stated guidelines will be accepted.
Please also note that the Center for the Study of Women cannot provide travel funds for
conference presenters.
