Dear All
I am forwarding information about the call for papers for COST Action 34:
Gender and
wellbeing: work, family and public policies.
The call for papers can be viewed on the Action website
(http://www.ub.es/tig/GWBNet/), together with further instructions on the
submission of abstracts.
With best wishes, Bernard.
Dear friends,
On behalf of the Organising Committee of the Fourth Symposium of the
Action: "Gender and Well Being: The Role of Institutions from past to
present" (Madrid, Spain, on 25th-27th June 2008), we are delighted to inform
you that the call for papers -you will find it attached- has been opened.
We should be very grateful if you would circulate this call for papers
amongst the members of your national group and other experts you consider
they could be interested in participating in this Fourth Symposium.
In order to ensure a coherent programme of papers, we would like to ask
already everyone who wishes to take part to prepare a short abstract (¡Ü400
words) containing the title of his/her paper and a summary of its main aims
and objectives. It is essential that we receive your title and abstract by
20th Setember 2007.
The Organising Committee will have to make a choice of papers as we would
like to work in plenary sessions to facilitate interdisciplinary and
international discussion. In the selection of papers, we will particularly
consider discussions addressing the issues within a national and perhaps
international context. Finally, we will give equal representation to
participating states to the symposium as the COST policies require.
Selection of abstracts will be made by the end of October 2007 and will be
communicated to authors before 15th November. Paper givers should send
their papers no later than 26th May, 2008.
Funds for this symposium are limited and, whilst we are hopeful of being
able to meet the travel and accommodation costs of as many participants as
possible, we may not be able to do this in all cases. It would therefore be
very helpful if you could provide an estimate of your likely travel costs,
together with an indication of any additional resources on which you may be
able to call. We will construct our own estimate of accommodation costs
based on standard COST allowances.
When submitting an abstract, please enter the text into the attached form
(ProposalForm.doc) and rename the document so that it can be easily
identified by the name or names of the author or authors (so, for example,
Antonella Picchio¡¯s abstract can be identified as
picchio-abstract4thsymposium.doc (or txt, or pdf)).
