Subject: Conference on Equity in Australia April 2006
Dear friends
I am writing to let you know about a major conference we are holding
next year, in the hope you might be interested in presenting. There's a
brief description below. The WEXDEV web-site also has material about
our research that might interest you.
I would also be grateful if you could circulate this information about
our forthcoming conference to any of your networks or colleagues who may
be interested.
2006 ATN WEXDEV International Conference
Change in Climate: Prospects for Gender Equity in Universities
Stamford Plaza, Adelaide, South Australia, 11-13 April 2006
The Australian Technology Network is an influential alliance of five
distinctive and prominent Australian universities located in each
mainland state. In 1996 they launched the Women?s Executive Development
Program (ATN WEXDEV) to support women in senior positions in their
universities.
We now invite submission of abstracts to be presented at a 2006
International Conference on Gender Equity in Universities, sponsored by
the Australian Technology Network (ATN) Women?s Executive Development
Program (WEXDEV). It is designed for academics, administrators, equity
practitioners and researchers.
Building on the 1998 international conference Winds of Change? which
brought 500 women to Sydney to discuss the cultures of universities, the
2006 conference Change in Climate? will provide an opportunity to
consider the current issues facing women working in higher education
throughout the world. It will enable participants to report on findings
from recent research and to exchange information and ideas from
successful programs around the world.
The aims of the conference are
· To focus on women?s leadership in universities.
· To exchange information on position of women in universities
throughout the world and to feature new research findings.
· To highlight issues critical for gender equity.
· To build on significant international links.
· To mark the 10th anniversary of ATN WEXDEV in its work of supporting
women in senior positions in universities.
The 2006 conference will be held when the Association of Commonwealth
Universities Conference of Executive Heads is also meeting in Adelaide,
enabling contributions from a range of Commonwealth Universities.
The Conference, co-hosted by the University of South Australia, is to be
held in beautiful Adelaide, with its parks, beaches, wineries, culture
and excellent food.
For further information please visit www.uts.edu.au/oth/wexdev for call

becomes available.
Best wishes
Colleen
