FTW has, since the first gathering in 2007, promoted diverse dialogue among scholars of feminist theory and fostered a vibrant intellectual community. To that end, we bring together internationally recognized keynote speakers and emerging young scholars to engage in lively and focused debate. Our 2026 keynote speakers are: Dr. Jane Ward (The University of California, Santa Barbara), Dr. Sarah Haley (Columbia University), Dr. Erica Edwards (Yale University), and Dr. Anne A. Cheng (Princeton University). Additionally, this year we are excited to launch a new concluding event, “Last Words,” a conversation between Dr. Hortense Spillers (Vanderbilt University) and Dr. Sharon Holland (University of North Carolina).
