Reporting From the Front Line: A Transdisciplinary Conference on Gender
9 June 2011, UWE - Frenchay Campus, Bristol, UK
We are very pleased to announce a one day conference on gender, organised
by the UWE Gender Studies Research Group, to take place on 9th June 2011 at
UWE, Bristol, UK. The conference seeks to create a transdisciplinary
dialogue that maps the cutting edges in gender studies research, practice
and activism.
In line with our transdisciplinary theme we invite submissions from
researchers, across the social sciences, arts and humanities and from
practitioners and activists concerned with gender and in/equality issues.
In particular, we invite submissions addressing gendered aspects of
• Citizenship, social policy and human rights;
• Health, health care and health technologies;
• Workplace and educational settings and organisational practices;
• Conceptualisations, productions, uses and impacts of social, cultural,
media, architectural, environmental and/or political spaces;
• Discursive representations of new masculinities, femininities and
sexualised subjectivities in national and international contexts;
• Gender at the intersection of age, ethnicity, social class and
dis/ability in 'the big society'.
Submissions may be in a variety of formats including posters, verbal
presentations and workshops. Please send abstracts of 150 words to
[log in to unmask], including with your submission, presentation title and
format, author names, institutional affiliations and email addresses and an
indication of which of the above themes your presentation addresses.
THE ABSTRACT DEADLINE IS MARCH 10th 2011.
