Dear friends,
If you are interested, I would like to invite you to submit a proposal for
my panel. Please see below:
*IUAES 2012*
Theme: Anthropology of Children, Youth and Childhood
Venue and date: Bhubaneswar (India), November 26-30, 2012
Panel: *Growing Up: Do Gender Praxis Play any Role?*
*Abstract*
Not only does the sex of an unborn child an event of great anticipation to
parents, relatives and society at large, but also leads to many gendered
situations in the post-delivery and growing-up years. Once the amorphous
fetus gains the status of either gender (or the third), societal customs
take place. These are unwritten and many times unspoken norms and a result
of socialization.
Studies have revealed that a son in many societies enjoys preferential
treatment in upbringing and in later life in comparison to a daughter. In
dominant patriarchal societies a daughter is neglected on several
occasions. A couple of studies in matrilineal societies show a slight
variation from the above situation.
The present panel aims to look at how the upbringing of a child is affected
by two factors in society: The sex of the child and the gendered societal
norms. The panel invites proposals which discuss empirical situations where
different perspectives of child rearing are brought forth.
I would like to request you to put in a paper proposal for the same. Please
fill in the attached proforma, and send it back to me. The last date for
the same in *April 15th*, but I would be grateful if you could send it
earlier.
Do write to me with your paper title, an abstract (of 150 words) and your
affiliation by Feb 29th 2012.
Thanks,
Q. Marak, Phd
