Dear Coalition,
On behalf of the Conference Planning Committee, we’re thrilled to announce the site for the 2027 conference:
University of Minnesota-Twin Cities!
The conference theme will be "Resistance/Resilience: Sustaining Feminist Activism," and will be hosted by Drs. Liane Malinowski and Jacklyn Fiscus-Cannady in the U of M Department of Writing Studies.
Some members of the Coalition may recall that the University of Minnesota also hosted FemRhets in 1999. This is the first time in the history of the Coalition that we have returned to a former conference site! Stay tuned for the CFP in 2026.
Many thanks to the current members of the Conference Planning Committee members who circulated the call for hosts, encouraged submissions, and reviewed applications. Committee members are: Patrick Thomas (chair), Holly Anderson, Moushumi Biswas, Cristy Beemer, Erica Cirillo-McCarthy, and Rhea Lathan. Please be in touch with Coalition President, Becca Richards (president) regarding opportunities, questions, or concerns.
The Coalition’s Conference Planning Committee supports conference site hosts in their efforts to host conferences that are antiracist and inclusive, affordable, accessible, and transparent in their conference planning.
