Petersen Chair in Gerontology and Family Studies.
Hello! I am pleased to report that the FF section has several exciting announcements, including a new slate of officers. I (Elizabeth Sharp) am the new section Chair, Libby Blume is Chair-Elect, Janel Leone is the Secretary/Treasurer, Kristen Benson and Kimberly Crossman are the new Student/New Professional Representatives and Lisa Taylor is Past Chair. We recognize that we follow a long tradition of strong and energetic feminist leadership and we hope to build on this rich legacy in the next two years.
The Feminism and Family Studies Section of the National Council on Family Relations is seeking applicants for TWO awards to be given at the November 2012 NCFR Annual Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. Applicants do not need to be members of NCFR, but we welcome new members to our section and organization.
