AAG 2007 CFP: Global Perspectives on Gender-Water Geographies
Paper Sessions and Round-table Discussion
Organizer: Kathleen O'Reilly
Chairs: Farhana Sultana and Sarah Halvorson
The goal of these paper sessions and round-table is to provide a venue for
the presentation and discussion of papers invited for a future, special
issue of Gender, Place and Culture, edited by Nina Laurie, Kathleen
O'Reilly, Sarah Halvorson and Farhana Sultana.
These sessions are intended to bring together papers that investigate a
variety of gender and water relationships including:
. production and consumption of water resources
. practices of sanitation and hygiene
. gendered debates over water development
. water as feminine space
. gendered impacts of droughts, floods, and declining water quality
. transboundary water activism
. coastal and riverine access and uses of water
. farmers and irrigation
. privatization and commodification
. mutual construction of meanings of gender and water
. gendered negotiations with the state over water resources
. NGO interventions in water resource management
Theoretical approaches to the research include: political and cultural
ecology; structural; critical realist; poststructural; postcolonial;
feminist; and Marxist. A range of both qualitative and quantitative
methods is encouraged. We seek papers from the global north and south, and
from both human and physical geographers.
A round-table session following the paper sessions will feature discussion
of all of the presented papers.
We welcome paper submissions for the AAG sessions and/or the GPC special
issue, and encourage anyone interested in discussing papers in the
round-table. If you are interested in submitting a paper for either the
paper session or the special issue, please send an abstract (250 words) to
Kathleen O'Reilly ([log in to unmask]). If you are interested in
acting as a discussant in a subsequent round-table session, please contact

Participants in the AAG are asked to submit their PIN numbers by October
10th 2006.
In order to begin the review process for the special issue, complete
papers are expected for submission by Monday, December 11th 2006.
