Beijing + 10
      The North American Regional Conference on Gender and Policy

May 14-16, 2006
The Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel
The Pennsylvania State University
University Park, Pennsylvania Co-Sponsored by the United Nations 
Research Institute for Social Development and The Pennsylvania State 
University's Women's Studies Program
On September 15, 1995 the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action 
was adopted by the Fourth World Conference on Women. The Conference, 
which brought together almost 50,000 women and men, focused on the 
cross-cutting issues of equality, development and peace, and analyzed 
them from a gender perspective.

Now, in collaboration with different educational institutions around 
the world, the United Nations is sponsoring a series of regional 
conferences to focus on the status of women since the 1995 conference. 
The conference for the North American region is co-sponsored with the 
Program of Women's Studies at The Pennsylvania State University.

With this call for papers, we invite participation in the conference 
from scholars, activists, NGOs, artists/writers and filmmakers. We 
encourage a diversity of perspectives as well as presentation styles. 
Participants may present their work via academic papers, artistic 
performances, activist workshops, plenary sessions and keynote 
addresses that explore the important issues raised at Beijing ten years 
after that monumental event. Every effort will be made to have all 
activities translated into Spanish, English and French.

The Zoller Gallery will be used as an alternative conference site for 
scheduled performances and a group art exhibition. Please include in 
your conference proposal exhibition details including dimensions, 
scale, material and 1-3 images (jpegs). Gallery information can be 
accessed at http://www.sva.psu.edu/zoller.html. For more information 
regarding alternative format possibilities contact Dr. Stephanie 
Springgay at sss23 at psu.edu.

We invite proposals which focus one or more of the following 
interdependent themes:

Economic Globalization, Environment and Equality
Work, Health and Welfare
Citizenship Democracy and Social Justice
Frontline Feminisms, Violence and Social Change

Proposals of no more than 200 words should be e-mailed to:
womensstudies at psu.edu by Oct 15th 2005. A program committee will review 
them and make their selection by Dec 1st 2005. Registration packets 
will be available on-line by Nov 1st, 2005 at: 
http://womensstudies.la.psu.edu/. Scholarship Information will also be 
available at that time for presenters who do not have institutional 
support.

For further information call 814 863-4025, Fax 814 863-3578.
