And now the International Alliance for Women in Music (IAWM) has decided to hold its 2011 conference in Flagstaff, Arizona. The theme is “In Beauty We Walk,” which in addition to being a pretty silly theme, albeit taken from the Navajo creation figure of Changing Women, is especially meaningless when different kinds of beauty can get you arrested in the state.
WTF is with these supposedly feminist, women-positive academic societies that are holding meetings in Arizona? Do they not realize what’s going on there politically? Do they not care?
IAWM, move your conference!
