No Limits Conference

Since 1994, Womens & Gender Studies has hosted No Limits, an interdisciplinary student conference on issues related to women, gender, and sexuality. Sponsored annually by the Women's and Gender Studies programs at UNO, UNK and UNL, it is held in early March and rotates between the Lincoln, Kearney, and Omaha campuses. Open to undergraduate and graduate students, and recent graduates, it accommodates both traditional and non-traditional topics and presentations.

The conference encourages scholarly and  creative presentations, including papers, posters, artwork, performances, and the reading of original work, and has also hosted many renowned scholars, writers, performers, and activists.
