This conference invites papers from a range of disciplines, reflecting the scope of contemporary feminist interest in spatial configurations. Whilst the theoretical scope of the conference is broad, the central issue of "how British women writers represent space" will remain the focus of the day, considering questions such as, how do women writers construct literary space? What types of spaces/places are represented in works by women? How are received notions of space/place interpreted, accepted, or contested? How do we theorise the textual spaces in women's writing?

What is the future of gender research in your field? How is "gender" conceived and mobilised in various fields? What is the role of "gender" in the design and pursuit of political objectives, and how does this impact on research practices? Is all "gender" research, feminist research? How do "specialist" knowledges shape the development of gender and women´s studies? This one-day symposium – the first of a series – gathers scholars from various fields to discuss new directions in gender and women´s studies and the future of feminist imaginations. The aim of the conference is to explore how "gender" is conceptualised in different research areas and how it travels across different disciplines, and to consider the challenges posed to gender and women´s studies by various "specialist" and "disciplinary" discourses and conventions.
