Funding

The conference have not received the amount needed to fund as many

When you register at the final registration page later on, you will have 
the opportunity to indicate your need for funding. The few grants available 
will be distributed according to the quality of the paper and its relevance 
to the conference theme. Geographic position and age will also be taken 
under consideration. Additionally there will be a limited number of grants 
in the form of reduced conference fees.

THEMATIC WORKSHOP STREAMS

The workshop streams of the conference has been up-dated. Please note that 
the first theme is now called Global and Changing Europe and that we have 
added a stream called Critical Studies of Masculinities.

The conference will be structured around parallel thematic workshops, some 
directly related to the main theme and others focused upon wider issues in 
the field of feminist and gender studies. The workshops will address, 
illuminate, integrate, question or deconstruct the central categories of 
class, ethnicity, sexualities and generations. In the tittles of these 
broad workshop streams, the terms, gender, power, women, class, ethnicity, 
sexualities and generations are not repeated since we assume that these 
concepts are treated in a variety of ways in every workshop stream. These 
themes are:

I. Global and Changing Europe
II. Equality
III. Resistance and Empowerment
IV. Normativity and Hegemony
V. Bodies and Pleasure
VI. Academy
VII. Science and Technology Studies and Feminism/Space and Diversity
VIII. Bodies, Embodiment, Health
IX. Violence, Militarism, War and Peace
X. Critical Studies of Masculinities
XI. Women's/Gender/Feminist Studies in Europe
XII. Theory, Methodology and Epistemology
XIII. Language, Images and Representation
XIV. Working, Welfare States, Labour Markets and Migration
XV. Narratives and Memories
XVI. Sources for Research and Action - the politics of feminist 
perspectives on information and documentation

Furthermore, a few workshops will remain open for themes that may develop 
from delivered abstracts.

Time will also be available for network meetings, research group meetings, 
roundtable discussions and other meetings.

PARTICIPANTS

The conference is open to experts, established researchers as well as 
younger researchers. We will particularly emphasize two groups of 
participants; these are doctoral students and younger researchers in Europe 
and researchers from universities and institutions in the NIS and former 
"Eastern" European states.

Librarians and documentalists working in the field of gender studies are 
especially welcome. Additionally, there will be space for meetings of 
associated specialists such as equality experts.
