Women's Worlds 2011. Call for Participation

This is a deliberate Call for Participation, more than a call for papers. Why? Because WW 2011 is as much about grassroots activism as it is about academic achievement. We know that important insights come from various communities – that’s why we are striving to make WW 2011 a space for all kinds of conversations and connections between diverse people.

Proposals for presentations can come from individuals, groups, coalitions, networks, teams – everything will be considered.

YOU ARE committed to women’s rights and equality. YOU ARE academics, activists, researchers, policy-makers, advocates, artists. You are from all corners of the world. You are elders and youth and anywhere in between. You are people with (dis)abilities. You are Inuit and Indigenous, Mestizo and Métis, Aboriginal and Aborigine. You are part of ethnic, linguistic, cultural, and poor communities. You are LGBT and two-spirited. You are beautifully uncategorizable.

You want to share your ideas, findings, and stories at WW 2011. You have in mind a presentation that follows a classic format or you want to present through multimedia, performance art, exhibits, cultural events …

When it comes to your submission: be creative. Be as traditional or non-traditional as you want to be. Be daring, even.
