The
4th Christina Conference on Women's Studies
Gender,
Nature and Culture
May
20-22, 2010
The 4th Christina conference explores the complex connections among gender,
nature and culture. Recent research has increasingly viewed nature and culture
as inherently entangled and inseparable, suggesting that nature is often
understood through discourses of gender and, conversely, that gender is made
sense of through historically contingent assumptions about nature. Building on
this growing body of scholarship, the conference asks how this mutual
intertwining of nature, culture and gender has been theorized, represented and
experienced in the past as well as the present. The conference aims to be a
meeting point for researchers from different disciplines. The conference is
organized by the research project “Representing and Sensing Nature, Landscape
and Gender” (

The conference has three thematic foci:
While addressing these issues, we also explore how assumptions about gender, nature and culture take shape through discourses of sexuality, ethnicity and other intersecting categories of difference.
The Organizing Committee is pleased to invite abstracts for individual 20-minute presentations. Research groups can also suggest sessions of several papers. Abstracts should not exceed 300 words. Abstracts should be submitted using the online submission form. The deadline for submissions is 15 December 2009. Submitters will be notified of the acceptance or rejection of the abstract by 1 February 2010. All accepted abstracts will be published on the conference website.
