Gender, Social and Cultural Geographies
Postgraduate work in progress is invited on the topics within gender, social
and cultural geographies.
All current postgraduate students, masters and research (including those
outside 'Geography'), are invited to submit an abstract for a full day
session entitled "Gendered, Social and Cultural Geographies" at the IBG in
Belfast 2- 6th January 2002.
This session is designed to enable postgraduate students to present papers
in a supportive environment within a main session of an international
conference. It is hoped that it will draw on the exciting new work which
is being undertaken in Gender and Social and Cultural geographies. The
session is jointly sponsored by the Women in Geography Study Group and the
Social and Cultural Geography Reading Group.
Anyone who considers their work broadly within gender gegraphies/ social
geographies /cultural geographies is invited to submit an abstract. Work in
progress concerning issues around the following broad themes is envisaged
but not limited to:
*what are gendered geographies, social geographies, cultural geographies?
Where have they been? Future directions?
*Intersecting gendered and/or social and cultural geographies
*difference and diversity including but not restricted to gender,
sexualities, race/ethnicities, disabilities, class and age and other
interlocking systems of difference
*social inclusions/exclusions
*geographies of home, reproduction, consumption, body, work, cyberspace
etc.
*bodies, identities, spaces and places
*performativity
*interpretations, uses and appropriations of feminisms
*theory into practice, practice into theory
*methodology and ethics
We hope to be able to offer some funds to support postgraduates who wish to
participate in this session, however although these will help to fund your
attendance at the conference they will not cover the entire cost of
attendance (transport, accomodation etc.). Details of bursaries will be
sent to presenters at a later date.
Abstracts should be approximately 200 words, clearly stating the
title,author(s) names and contact details. Please send abstracts via email
(as an attached word document) or by post to arrive no later than 31st May
