We would like to take the time to recognize our faculty for their accomplishments. Even when students are writing papers and taking tests, faculty are researching, writing and presenting their work to colleagues. Here is the list of accomplishments of WGST faculty and our affiliates:

Gilbert, Paula Ruth was invited to present a paper, “On Being a Visiting Senior Research Fellow,” at the 30th Anniversary celebration of the International Gender Studies Centre at Lady Margaret Hall at Oxford University in November 2013. She continues to work closely with the IGS on some exciting future international projects that will benefit WGST and George Mason. She also presented a paper, “Filming Global Human Rights Violations against Women and Girls: Québec’s Rebelle Narrates the Story of a Girl Child Soldier,” at the biennial conference of the Association of Canadian Studies in the United States in Tampa, Florida in November. The result of this presentation is an article, jointly written with Mary Jean Green of Dartmouth College, “Canada at the Oscars: Kim Nguyen’s Rebelle, the Tale of an African Girl Child Soldier,” and currently under review. Secondly, she has used her research on girl child soldiers to complete a long article, “Filmic Trauma: Human Rights Violations in Québec’s War Witch/Rebelle, The Story of a Girl Child Soldier,” accepted for a volume on trauma in national and international film. At the same Canadian Studies conference in November, she also presented a paper, “Spheres of Influence: Quebec Women Writers—Gabrielle Roy.”
