Conference-
Gender in the Mediterranean:
Emerging Practices and Discourses
5-7 March 2004
Intercollege, Nicosia, Cyprus
Call for Proposals
On the occasion of International Women's Day, the Mediterranean Institute of
Gender Studies (MIGS) in collaboration with the British Council organise a
conference under the title Gender in the Mediterranean: Emerging Practices and
Discourses, for scholars, researchers, professionals, activists and policy
makers to exchange experiences, knowledge and insights as these relate to the
analysis and activism on gender issues in the Mediterranean. It aims to provide
interested parties from diverse backgrounds with an opportunity and a forum to
explore how gender relates to key socio-economic and political issues in the
Mediterranean.
Participants will come together to explore and analyse issues and perspectives
of gender as these affect and are affected by women's and men's cultural,
economic, political and social realities in the Mediterranean on multiple
levels, and encourage the exchange, debate and discussion of ideas/solutions for
promoting gender equality and justice, build strategic regional alliances,
strengthen advocacy campaigns and put new issues on the agenda of gender. The
conference will provide a platform for a critical approach to profound global
changes and their effects on the lives of women and men, and promote a
trans-cultural dialogue amongst diverse Mediterranean voices.
The conference aspires to highlighting the need for further interest in gender
issues in the Mediterranean and the establishment of a network of activists and
scholars committed to advancing them.
The conference will be structured around plenary sessions, poster presentations
and thematic workshops related to specific themes of gender in the
Mediterranean. These will address, illuminate, integrate, question and
deconstruct matters of gender in the Mediterranean. The areas to address are the
following:

Empowerment

We are pleased to announce that the
First International Symposium on "Managing of the Non-profit sector"
will be held on 23-24 November 2002, in Nicosia, North Cyprus. The aim of the
symposium is to bring academicians, practitioners and experts to discuss the
management of nonprofit sector. The symposium will provide participants with the
opportunity to explore different nonprofit sector experiences in depth with the
participants from other parts of the world.
The details concerning the participation and registration to the program can be
found on line on the Management Center's web-site at
www.mancentre.org .
The symposium topic is 'managing the nonprofit sector', a topic which is
becoming increasingly popular. Participants are not confined to specific topics
but rather they are free to choose to submit a proposal with any topic relevant
to the field. This general title aspires to enable participants to come with
different ideas that might be highly thought-provoking.
The symposium will be conducted in English. The deadline for abstracts, no more
than hundred words, is decided to be 20th September 2002. The abstract format is
available online. Each participant is expected to submit a CV together with an
abstract.
The abstracts will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee on the basis of
their academic value and topic in mid-October. The authors whose abstracts are
accepted will be eligible to make presentations in November at the symposium.
The presentations can be conducted by authors and/or co-authors. For each
presentation 20 minutes will be allocated. Each presentation will be followed by
10-minute discussion.
Workshops as inseparable parts of any symposium intend to encourage the audience
to raise their questions on the subject of presentations. The workshops will not
be limited only to the presentation topics but will also provide the audience
with the opportunity to bring up various topics related to the nonprofit sector
as well. The workshops will last around two hours.
Abstracts and CVs are due 20 September 2002. Accepted abstracts will be
announced on 15 October 2002. Registration deadline is set as 30 October 2002
and the symposium will be held on 23-24 November 2002.
This symposium is organized by the Management Centre with the generous
contributions of United Nations Office for Project Services and support of the
British Council.
Registration and participation is free of charge. The participants with accepted
papers are only expected to pay their travel expenses to the symposium and the
Centre will provide modest accommodation between 22-25 November 2002 (3 nights
and two days).
We are eagerly looking forward to hearing from you,
Yours sincerely,
Cengiz Pinar (Prof.)
Head of the Scientific Committee
