Dear Geographers (and others!), With the launch of the new GPOW website and the Gender and Geography Bibliography, we are excited to share the site. But we need your help to keep it growing! We need volunteers to commit a few days a year (or as many as one day a month) to search for and add citations of new publications from journals and books (on topics relating to women and gender, sexuality). We already have a team of great volunteers, but we need more to help spread the workload. If you are interested in volunteering or need more information about what it would require, please email me at [log in to unmask] We will be hosting a web-seminar on how to update the bibliography in October. Please pass this on to other students or faculty who are not on the listserv but who you think might be interested. I look forward to hearing from lots of volunteers!

The purpose of the GPOW Specialty Group is to promote geographic research and education on topics relating to women and gender. The site includes information on our sponsorship of GPOW awards, GPOW-sponsored AAG sessions, our history, teaching resources, and is a sister site to the Gender and Geography Bibliography which was relaunched this past spring. You can subscribe to GPOW site posts by clicking the Follow link on the bottom-right hand corner of the site. > > Keep checking back! Board members and organization members will be posting about their research, pedagogy, and experiences on topics relevant to feminist geography. We also welcome submissions from others interested in sharing about their work, research, ideas, and lives, including writing, photography, and other multimedia from research sites and projects. We are also eager to collect information on past GPOW gatherings in the form of photos, and collect reminisces on the organization's history. Email the GPOW webweaver, Jen Gieseking, at [log in to unmask] with your materials and she will forward them on to the rest of the board. > > This site would not be possible without the previous site developed and overseen by Dr. Amy Trauger, and the collection of materials by Dr. Tiffany Muller Myrdahl.
