Call for papers - Women in Asia 2010
The Call for Papers and Online Registration are now open for the 10th
Women in Asia Conference.
The College of Asia and the Pacific (CAP) at The Australia National
University (ANU) is hosting the Tenth International Women in Asia (WIA)
Conference, to be held from 29 September to 1 October 2010 at the ANU,
Canberra.
The WIA conferences have been held regularly since 1981 and are
supported by the Women's Forum of the Asian Studies Association of
Australia. These are international conferences, with attendees from
throughout Australia and the Asian regions, including those who are
working on or in the region.
Participants include academics and students; representatives of NGOs and
other organisations involved in aid and development; artists and
performers; and interested members of the general public. The conference
provides excellent opportunities for networking and getting to know
others in the field.
The theme for the 2010 conference – the tenth anniversary WIA conference
– is Crisis, Agency, and Change. We hope that this will stimulate
discussion across disciplines and across regions on the impact of
crises, whether personal or collective, on women; on the representation
of women and crisis; and on women's agency, actions, and activism in
response to crisis and in efforts to achieve change.
Call for Papers: Contributions are invited from a broad range of
participants from various disciplines. Participants are encouraged to
submit proposals for panels (with 3-4 papers per panel). Individual
proposals for papers are also welcome, as are innovative suggestions for
films, exhibitions and other presentations.
