: >often dismissed or ingnored. Women's roles in these arenas are restricted
: >not only by gender discrimination, but by discrimination based on culture,
: >class, raced, ability/disability, and other factors. Work in the social
: >sciences and humanities provides new ways of thinking and talking about
: >cultural diversity, subjectivity and objectivity, cultural and personal
: >identity, marginalization, and other elements that have an impact on
: >health policy and health care delivery. The Conference will use these new
: >approaches to beginning to dismantle the too-rigid framework that
: >restricts women's participation in the health care arena."

Shery, I really like your rewrite...in my theory courses i've often had 
to wade though such jargon filled paragraphs. It goes against my ideal 
that theory should be accessible.

But the conference still sounds mighty interesting
