campus, and many agreed the theme
should express indusiveness.
"It's been a collaborative event,"
she said. "I don't think it could have
been any more inclusive."
She said there has been a lot of dis
cussion about the conference meeting
the needs of students and faculty, and
further discussions will take place af
ter the event.
"I've tried to address the needs of
women of color on campus and the
women of diverse backgrounds,"
she said.
Tuesday features theatrical perform
ances by Erin O'Brien, a Vietnamese
Irish American activist who will address
issues such as hate crimes, homopho
bia and violence against women, ac
cording to the release. The performanc
es include "Sometimes I feel,"
Growing up Gay and The Dress.
Members of ethnic student unions are
sponsoring a women of color open-mic
event Thursday that will highlight some
of the campus women of color's voices
and talents, junior lijin Abraham said.
Abraham, who is helping direct
the event, said students also are
sponsoring a workshop titled "Con
solidating the Fractured Image
Among Women of Color," which is
intended to examine image and
identity misconceptions among
women of color.
"It's going to be kind of a safe space
for women of color," she said.
Herman said the international
theme is meant to speak to a variety of
women because people have different
perceptions of who women of color are
"It's very hard to define what's a
woman of color," she said.
Abraham said she has been appre
hensive about this year's theme
while serving as the connection be
tween the event's coordinator and
the student groups on campus. She
said the international theme has the
potential to leave out American
women of color.

"It kind of excludes women of col
or in the U.S.," she said. "As long as
they don't get overlooked and they're
included in the international perspec
tive, that's great."
She said the conference is impor
tant for letting people know there are
women of color on campus.
"They're very underrepresented,"
she said.
Women's Center Director Lisa Foisy
said Herman has sought out many
viewpoints about the conference
throughout the planning process.
"On her part, she really worked
hard to reach a variety of con
stituents," Foisy said.
She said the input of campus
groups and departments, and the co
ordinator's vision determine the
theme for the conference.
"It can change from year to year,"
she said. "Really it's open."
Andy Smith will wrap up the con
ference with the keynote speech
Thursday. Smith co-founded Incite!
Women of Color Against Violence, a
national activist organization of
feminists of color that aims to end
violence against women of color
and their communities, according to
its Web site, http://www.incite-na
tional.org.
Herman said one of the main pur
poses of the conference is to motivate
people. She said she also hopes the
conference will educate people about
feminism around the world.
"We definitely want to bring aware
ness to campus," she said.
