Gender & Development: Call for Papers
on Climate Change - Oxfam
The March 2009 issue of the international journal Gender & Development, (published for Oxfam GB by Routledge/Taylor and Francis) will focus on Climate Change. Please note: this new issue follows the first pathbreaking issue on this topic which we published in 2002 (Vol. 10 No. 2). You can view the articles from this issue on our website – http://www.genderanddevelopment.org:80/
Deadline for Proposals: 10 June 2008
For the new issue, we request ideas for articles from researchers, practitioners and activists.
•
What have we learned from
gender analysis of the impact of climate change on women, men and gender power
relations?
•
How are women responding to
climate change - in terms of grassroots adaptation, and activism at all levels
to halt further change?
•
What are activists doing
nationally and internationally to ensure gender issues are integrated into
climate change agendas?
•
What insights do we now have
on how climate change is affecting development, poverty alleviation and the
empowerment of women?
•
How should development
projects and programmes be adapted and designed to respond?
If you would like to write on any of the above, or have
other ideas about articles we should commission, please send a paragraph
outlining your proposed idea to gadeditor@oxfam.org.uk,
as soon as possible, and before the commissioning deadline: 10 June 2008.
Commissioned articles will need to be completed for a
deadline of 8 September 2008.
G&D particularly welcomes
contributions from first-time writers and I will provide the necessary support
for you to share your development experience and expertise through the journal.
G&D provides a forum for development policymakers,
practitioners and researchers, and feminist activists to share insights,
analyses and concepts that promote and support dignified, decent and
sustainable development, founded on equality between women and men. We aim to meet the needs of development
policymakers and practioners for information which enables them to 'do gender'
in their work. Published by Routledge/Taylor and Francis for Oxfam GB, the
journal has become essential reading for all concerned with gender-fair
development. We are currently read in over 90 countries.
Please note G&D has an editorial policy of publishing in
clear, jargon-free English, in order to be of use to the widest possible
readership. Practitioners and activists, as well as researchers, are invited to
write for us, and editorial support is available for all writers who would like
it.

guidelines for contributors, please visit: www.genderanddevelopment.org
