Gjirokastėr, Albania, 20-22 September 2001
The past 10 years have brought changes to women's work, what is regarded as
women's work, and how it is valued in all the post-communist states of southeast
Europe. This workshop will bring together social scientists from the Balkan area
who are researching women, and those with a practical interest in all aspects of
women's work, to present their findings, share knowledge and experiences, and to
make visible to a wider public (professional colleagues, students, policy makers
and others) the work done by women, and women's many achievements.
Research projects relating to this broad field are underway in several Balkan
countries. Early results from some of them were presented at the Conference on
Gender and Rural Transformations in Europe, Wageningen, the Netherlands, in
October 1999. This workshop will provide an opportunity to present further
results within a specifically Balkan context and to further develop contacts
with a view to facilitating exchanges and future cooperation.
The workshop will run over three days in Gjirokastėr, southern Albania. Most
of the programme will consist of paper sessions with discussion, but there will
be plenty of opportunity for informal discussion.
It is intended that contributions to the workshop will be published.
It is envisaged there will be no more than 20 - 30 participants. Detailed
information will be sent to all participants in summer 2001.
Provisional applications and submissions of papers are invited. Please
indicate your name, title of the proposed paper, address, institutional
affiliation (if any), fax number and e-mail and send to
E-mail: beryl3@klan.zzn.com
and by
Fax: 00355 726 3776,
marked: Pėr Edlirėn
The final date for receipt of abstracts is 31 May 2001. The final date for
receipt of bookings is 31 August 2001.
Joint Meetings, July 4-7, 2001 Budapest, Hungary
The fifth joint meeting of the Law and Society Association and the Research
Committee on Sociology of Law (of the International Sociological Association)
will be hosted by Central European University in Budapest, Hungary, Wednesday,
July 4 through Saturday, July 7, 2001.
The Program Committee invites proposals for presentation and discussion of
all aspects of research linking law and society, whether or not they are
specifically related to the meeting theme. In addition to proposals for
sessions, individual papers, and discussions of books, the Committee is also
encouraging the continuation of the activities of last year's collaborative
research networks (CRNs) and the formation of new CRNs. In all of these areas,
proposals from scholars who have not previously attended our meetings are
especially encouraged. The setting and the theme should provide a unique
opportunity for vigorous and stimulating exchange.
