In 2017, Northwestern is hosting the Engendering Change Graduate Student Conference. The purpose of this conference is to provide a space for graduate students working on research in gender and sexuality, with a focus this year on racial and gender justice, to present their work, get feedback from faculty and other graduate students, and network. Engendering Change is an annual conference that rotates host locations between University of Illinois at Chicago, Northwestern University, and University of Chicago.
