Scholars from around the world are ready for MTSU’s 13th biennial Interdisciplinary Conference in Women’s and Gender Studies, the topic of a recent “MTSU On the Record” radio program.

Dr. Roberta Chevrette

Host Gina Logue’s interview with Dr. Roberta Chevrette, an assistant professor in MTSU’s Department of Communication Studies, first aired March 12 on WMOT-FM Roots Radio 89.5 and online at www.wmot.org. You can listen to their conversation above.

Under the theme of “Gendered Migrations, Bodies and Borders,” the academic gathering will bring together scholars from around the world to present their research March 28-30.

The conference agenda also includes films, panel discussions and special speakers.

“The theme has a lot of room to delve specifically into topics of border issues and migration as well as to look more broadly at issues of women and gender,” Chevrette said.

The conference is part of the university’s celebration of National Women’s History Month.

Chevrette, a member of the MTSU faculty since fall 2017, also teaches courses in the university’s Women’s and Gender Studies Program. Her research interests include gendered media and representation, race and whiteness studies, public memory and public culture, and nationalism and identity.
