handle is hein.peggy/fetheorr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: FEMINISM CONFRONTS ECONOMIC THEORY: policy initiatives and economic rhetoric FEMINISM AND LEGAL THEORY WORKSHOP Columbia University School of Law Jerome Greene Lounge in Wein Hall MARCH 14 & 15,1997 Please note that there are four (4) Sessions on this schedule. There were so many good papers that I felt I had to try to fit them all in. This means that we will start an hour earlier on Saturday and there will be a coffee break prior to Session Ill. Lunch (between Sessions III and IV) will be a half hour shorter than usual. I think the program is worth the accommodation. WARNING: Unlike some prior Workshops, Sessions will start ON TIME.
