Call for
Papers
The
First
Gender and
Development Conference
at
UMKC
"Rethinking Women's
Lives in Culture, Economy, and Politics"
February 28,
2004
The University of
Missouri at Kansas City
5100 Rockhill
Road
Kansas City, MO
64110
We are inviting
papers that critically examine the role of gender in the cultural, economic, and
political development of human beings in their societies and in the global
arena. Papers can focus on either theoretical aspects of gender and development
or present case studies. Topics should fit into the Gender and Development theme
of the conference and can include such areas of interest as gender and the state
(e.g., criminalization and institutionalization of women; reproductive rights;
gendered human rights, including rights to freedom of sexualities), gender and
the economy (e.g., gender and paid and unpaid work; gendered economic and
financial policies; gendered non-profit and non-governmental organizations;
"third way" gendered development; gender, employment, and globalization), and
gender and culture (e.g., gendered religions, gender and environmental impacts;
gendered activism). While we encourage a strong focus on the gendered lives of
women, we also invite papers examining the gendered lives of men and
transgendered people.
