First announcement and call for papers to the final

(2000-2004),
Göteborg, Sweden, 10-12 June 2005
Gender and violence: power, resistance and challenges
for the
future
First announcement and call for papers to the final
research
conference in the Nordic research programme Gender and
violence
(2000-2004), Göteborg, Sweden, 10-12 June 2005
We have the great pleasure to invite you to the second
Nordic research
conference on gender and violence. This conference is
marking the end
of
the activities in the Nordic Council of Ministers'
research programme
Gender and violence (2000-2004). The conference will
take place in
Göteborg in Sweden 10-12 June 2005 and is arranged in
co-operation with
Göteborg University. We want to provide all
researchers and research
students participating in the programme, as well as
other researchers
and
research students active in the field of gender and
violence in the
Nordic countries with a place to meet and we hope that
this event will
create many opportunities for networking and sharing
of results, ideas
and information. Through the activities in the Gender
and
violence-programme Nordic co-operation in this field
of research has
been
advanced. However, a lot of work remains to be done
and we hope that
this
conference will give inspiration to continued
co-operation and
contribute
to the formulation of new and important questions for
future
research.
Welcome to Göteborg, Sweden!
Jonas Liliequist
Chairperson of the programme committee,
"Gender and Violence - a Nordic research
programme
2000-2004"
Important dates:
Deadline for abstracts: 15 February 2005
Deadline for registration: 1 April 2005
CONTENTS
The programme includes plenary sessions and workshops
with
presentations by participants in the projects funded
by the programme.
In
addition, researcher and research students who are not
funded by the
programme are invited to present their research (see
further below).
The
agenda for the conference also includes the question
of the possible
need
for a Nordic association for research on gender and
violence, which may
be one of many possibilities to develop Nordic
co-operation further in
this field of research.
Plenary speakers include:
Maud Eduards
Liz Kelly
Jonas Liliequist
Suvi Ronkainen
Karla Jessen Williamsen
WORKSHOPS
Researchers and research students who are not funded
by the programme
are invited to present papers within the programme's
prioritised areas
of
research:
1. Power, violence, sexuality and victimization as a
gender specific
process.
2. Parenthood, gender and violence: parenthood as a
gendered social
institution.
3. Masculinity and violence as mutually constituting
one another
and cultural definitions of sexuality which privilege
men's and
subordinate women's sexuality.
4. The implications of "culture" and of
"cultures"
for the link between gender and violence.
Furthermore, researchers who want to co-ordinate
workshops, or groups
of researchers and research students who want to
organise workshops on
specific themes, are invited to give suggestions on
workshops to
programme co-ordinator Maria Eriksson (address below).
Papers can be presented in Danish, English, Norwegian
or Swedish.
