GENDER, IMAGES, AND GLOBAL CONTEXTS
March 8–10, 2007, University of Helsinki, Finland
Gender, Images and Global Contexts brings together two successful
conferences: the Christina Conference on Women’s Studies, organized
in Helsinki in 2003 and 2005 and the European Gender and ICT
Symposium, previously organized in Amsterdam (2003), Brussels (2004)
and Manchester (2005). It explores the challenging phenomena of
gender and ICT that take place in-between the cultural images and
societal contexts in the processes where the local intertwine with
the global. We invite scholars, students, educators, policy makers
and other practitioners to consider the challenges and possibilities
brought forth by global information and communication technologies
for working practices, education and feminist theorization. The
conference aims to be a meeting point for researchers from different
disciplines and research schools.
