GENDERING CITIZENSHIP AND GLOBALIZATION
III INTERNATIONAL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE
UNIVERSITY OF HUELVA (SPAIN), MAY 11-13 2005

After the success of "Women's Exiles/Exilios femeninos" in 1998 and
"Gendered Spaces/Espacios de genero" in 2001, the Women's Studies Centre
at the University of Huelva invites proposals for papers on the topic of
gendering citizenship and globalization. We would like to discuss how
citizenship and globalization may contribute to shape the construction
of gender as well as the ways in which a gendered stance may be
projected onto the configuration of citizenship and globalization.

Other related topics may include:
-gendering the nation, (im)migration and diaspora;
-gender politics and the legal system;
-transnational identity and gender;
-global job markets;-gendering international institutions;
-policing gender boundaries;
-the normalization of gender;
-wo/men's associations around the world;
-new patterns of political participation;
-women in (counter)terrorism;
-new configurations of gendered identity and their literary or media
representation;
-women's reproductive rights and inter/national policy;-women, media and
communication, etc.

Deadline for abstracts (300-500 words in either English or Spanish): 20
December 2004.  Acceptance of papers will be notified around 31 January
2005. Papers should not exceed 10 pages (2,500-3,000 words, 20 minutes
