Conference announcement
The 3rd Christina Conference on Women’s Studies & The 4th European Gender & ICT symposium
Gender, Images and Global Contexts, March 8–10, 2007, University of Helsinki, Finland
Gender, Images and Global Contexts brings together two successful conferences: the Christina Conference on Women’s Studies, organized in Helsinki in 2003 and 2005 and the European Gender and ICT symposium, previously organized in Amsterdam (2003), Brussels (2004) and Manchester (2005). It explores the challenging phenomena of gender and ICT that take place in-between the cultural images and societal contexts in the processes where the local intertwine with the global. We invite scholars, students, educators, policy makers and other practitioners to consider the challenges and possibilities brought forth by global information and communication technologies for working practices, education and feminist theorization. The conference aims to be a meeting point for researchers from different disciplines and research schools. We invite abstracts addressing gender and ICT from the perspectives of
* cultural images- representations of gender, sexuality and technology, or, of gendered agency in technically mediated society and digital culture
* work - design, production and use processes, work and technology, new forms of work in technically mediated society, global economy and global division of work
* education and policy - teaching and learning using ICT; gender and e-learning; gendered ways of learning technology, including learning styles and pedagogies; design of ICTs in education, policies of inclusion.
* feminist theory- theorizing the phenomenon of gender and ICT in between images and global processes of trade and work; gender inscriptions in ICT and in computing science.
Organisers: Christina Institute, University of Helsinki and Department of Women’s Studies, University of Tampere, and HILMA- University Network of Women's Studies.
Fee -- sorry, no grants available! 120 euros (paid before Jan 15, 2007) 50 euros for (unwaged and undergraduate) students 150/70 euros after January 15, 2007.
