(with apologies for cross-posting...) Dear List Members, The Geographic Perspectives on Women Specialty Group (GPOW) of the AAG is pleased to extend an invitation to sponsor sessions at the 2009 AAG, March 22-27 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The purpose of GPOW is to promote geographic research and education on topics relating to women and gender. Sponsored sessions may cover a broad range of geographic topics including (but not limited to) those focusing on women, gender, masculinities, femininities, sexuality, feminism, feminist theories, and/or feminist methodologies. To list just a selection, last year's 30 GPOW-sponsored sessions included Transnational Feminism, Violence and the Law; Livelihoods and Globalization in Sub-Saharan Africa; Anti-Hegemonic Thought and Praxis in Feminist Geography; The Politics and Practices of Participatory Video in Geographic Research; and Gendered Spaces of Body and Emotional Work. To put forward sessions for GPOW sponsorship, please send the session abstract, presenters' names and paper titles to [log in to unmask] This information will enable GPOW to promote sponsored sessions closer to the conference date. Best wishes, Maria Fannin GPOW-AAG & International Liaison ___________________________________________________ Maria Fannin Lecturer in Human Geography School of Geographical Sciences University of Bristol University Road Bristol BS8 1SS United Kingdom tel: +44 117 928 8928 fax: +44 117 928 7878 http://www.ggy.bris.ac.uk/staff/staff_fannin.html
