Apologies for cross-posting Call for papers: Women at the Edge: Border crossings, risk and resistance RGS/IBG WGSG session Convened by Tracey Skelton and Parvati Raghuram Department of International Studies Nottingham Trent University Clifton Lane Nottingham NG11 8NS Feminist research has highlighted the gendered nature of political, social, economic and cultural life and the agency of women and girls in engaging with and reconstituting these spheres. They have engaged with various forms of 'risk' in this process. We invite papers which focus on the 'risks' facing those women who cross borders, economic, cultural, social, sexual, physical or others and the choices, decision-making processes and obstacles that such border crossing involves. Papers could focus on * women who threaten gender boundaries through their presence in masculinised work spaces or social and cultural spaces. * Women in 'risky' physical spaces, from violent households to war zones * Migrant women crossing state borders Any one interested in submitting papers on the above topics is invited to contact either of the convenors: [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] Or submit abstract of 150-200 words by June 19th to [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
