[Discussion] CFP: Young Women Researching Abroad (6/30/04; collection)

[sule tarakcioglu]

Marta Bolognani and Tina Basi from the University of Leeds are accepting
abstracts and proposals for a collection of essays focussed on the
experiences of young women researchers abroad.

The collection of essays will centre on themes concerning the
intertwining of gender research and research reflexivity with the
overall aim to provide suggestions to new researchers and to stimulate
discussion on international gender issues for other women preparing to
do their fieldwork away from the home community. All aspects of research
deontology, methodology, theory and its practicalities will be relevant
provided that the link with gender and gender issues is central to the
contribution. There are no restrictions in regards style and approach
and the aim is to have a wide variety of contributions.

Ideally we would like to collect twelve pieces of work by women of
different nationalities who have done research in Europe, Asia, the
Americas and Africa. Essays from young women (not yet established
academics) from all different fields of social research are welcome.

We invite anyone who may be interested to send a short abstract before
30th June to Marta Bolognani (splmb@leeds.ac.uk). The abstract, like the
following contribution, will be welcomed either in English or in Italian
(in the case of the latter it will be translated into English).

If you receive this mail and you know of somebody who may be interested,
we would appreciate if you could forward this call. We are especially
interested in acquiring contributions from women of a nationality which
