Dear Friends, 

As part of the continuing series of Mumbai-themed seminars being hosted at Sophia College over the last few years, the Sophia Centre for Women’s Studies and Development in collaboration with the Departments of English and Mass Media, Sophia College, and the Social Communications Media Department, Sophia Polytechnic, is conducting an interdisciplinary seminar on the theme of Women’s Spaces, Women’s Voices in Mumbai at the Sophia Bhabha Auditorium on Friday, 6th and Saturday, 7th January 2012. The seminar will focus on the different ways in which various genres - the visual arts, film and literature - have represented and articulated the efforts of women to integrate economic pressures, exigencies of employment, and exposure to a vast array of other perspectives and cultures through globalization and rapidly-burgeoning information technology.   

The seminar is open to students and faculty of Mumbai colleges as well as the general public.   As with the previous seminars, the organizers hope to expose students and faculty to emerging fields and to areas of research and thinking beyond the limits of the prescribed syllabus.
