The first >WAAD conference accomplished its goals and put in place forward-looking >strategies for continuing its work. The networking that prevailed at >Nsukka laid the foundation for collaboration between Africa and the >African Diaspora as well as the formation of NGOs--on gender and the >media, and widowhood--in Africa. In addition to the ongoing activist work, >the conference generated a ten-volume proceedings of over 200 original >papers on women in Africa and the African Diaspora. WAAD '92 was also the >impetus for the formation of the Association of African Women Scholars >(AAWS)--a co-sponsor of the second WAAD conference. > >Locally and internationally, 1998 provides an appropriate context for the >WAAD conference. The city of Indianapolis plans a year-long series of >events, "Africa Celebration '98," which will showcase the complexity, >diversity, and rich cultures of Africa. Besides being a World Health >Organization (WHO) city, Indianapolis is the site of the world's largest >School of Nursing and a Women's Studies Program (IUPUI) that is strongly >committed to the study of black women in general and women's health and >Africa/African American related issues. Also, 1998 marks the 50th >anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The WAAD >conference will be one of the events organized worldwide to celebrate this >important anniversary and set in motion forward-looking strategies for >promoting universal human rights. > > >THE CONFERENCE (focus/sub-themes) > >At the second WAAD conference, health will be discussed not only as a >physical and medical question but, in a broader sense, as a social issue, >thus allowing participants to debate health issues in their relatedness to >the economy, education, human rights, militarization, cultural practices, >the environment, the arts, ethnic conflicts, refugee problems, etc., in >the context of global interdependence and international politics. The >presentations will include recent trends in morbidity and mortality in >women of African descent, sociocultural factors which impact on the health >of women of African descent, and the impact of changing focus of medical >research. In addition to the focus on the urgent need to facilitate >appropriate medical research for women of African descent, discussions >will also address the ways in which health issues are imagined in the arts >or how dramatic changes in climatic conditions with resultant dislocations >and food shortages, changes in economic and social policies (the welfare >system in the US and the immigration question in Europe, for example) and >the escalation of ethnic politics and armed conflicts on the African >continent impact the health and human rights of women of African descent. >Human rights questions will be discussed in a holistic way by linking >socio-economic rights to civil and political rights. > DEADLINE FOR THE SUBMISSION OF A ONE-PAGE PROPOSAL: MARCH 15, 1998 > >(Handwritten, faxed or e-mailed abstracts will not be accepted.

Marking this expansion of the journal we wish to include a themed issue that will explore and reflect upon the place of feminist geography, both within the discipline of geography and in relation to scholarship more generally. It is our intention to foster dialogue and enhance connections among those interested in and influenced by feminist scholarship in geography. This might include consideration of the influence (or lack of it) of feminist perspectives in particular geographic specialisms, together with discussions of the impact of the work of feminist geographers on scholars beyond the discipline. It is our intention that the issue will include consideration of teaching and pedagogy as well as research. We also wish to explore the interface between activism and scholarship. Manuscripts addressing any of these concerns are most welcome. Contributions may take the form of main articles (up to 7,000 words) or shorter items for the Viewpoints section. All essays will be subject to the normal review process. Please follow the notes for contributors published on the inside back cover of Gender, Place and Culture. All submissions for this themed issue should be submitted by 30th September (four copies please) and should include on the title page 'submitted for the themed issue on boundaries and spaces of feminist geography'. Please send them to Lynn Staeheli, Program on Political and Economic Change, Institute of Behavioral Science, Campus Box 487, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309-0487, USA. It would be most helpful if potential contributors could contact Lynn Staeheli as soon as possible to indicate their intention to submit a manuscript for the themed issue. Potential contributors are most welcome to discuss their ideas with Lynn or with co-editor Liz Bondi.

Research employing a diverse range of methodologies is welcomed. The International Feminist Journal of Politics: - Encourages submission of papers that explore broad definitions of politics in theory and practice within a global frame. It pursues debates on contemporary conditions and provides a forum for national, sub-national and local studies. - Emphasizes connections between, and among, women, how gender infuses and is shaped by different political processes and social relations, and how subjectivity, identity politics and material relations shape and are affected by both global and national politics. - Includes research on women, gender relations and sexuality through international relations, political theory, international political economy and globalization studies, comparative politics, peace research, international law, development studies, political geography and cultural studies. - Examines transnational processes, border and territorial questions, institutional politics, communications and technological concerns, debates and discomforts around gender and the category of women, race and class in national and cross-national contexts.

Martha Gimenez and Carrol Cox will continue to be its moderators, with Malgosia Askanas providing technical assistance. The new list, M-FEM (the full address is m-fem@csf.colorado.edu), has been created and should be functioning. To subscribe to the new list send the message subscribe m-fem FIRSTNAME LASTNAME (where FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME are your first and last name, of course) to the following address: listproc@csf.colorado.edu To learn more about the listproc commands, send to the above listproc address the message help At CFS, Marxism-Feminism will join other "sister" lists such as PSN (Progressive Sociologists Network) and MatFem (Materialist Feminism). CSF, true to its emphasis on communications, has a specific policy about the quality of discourse expected in all its lists and also, as a site that operates with support from the university, has a policy about the submission of copyrighted materials. Both are available below. We anticipate that marxism-feminism will continue to be free to all subscribers, but we will doubtless need to appeal to subscribers for some small donations to maintain the new list. Thank you, The Moderators: Martha Gimenez Carrol Cox ************************************************ Marxism-Feminism Rule of Discourse: replicate in our virtual space the rules of civility ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ we abide by when we meet face-to-face ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ================ CSF Communications Guidelines ================ Marxism Feminism is hosted at CSF (Communications for a Sustainable Future) which was founded on the idea that quality communications between people of differing viewpoints can be an avenue for securing a more promising future. So, when you join a csf-list, you are undertaking a modest obligation to write in a way that is respectful of the views of others. Electronic discussion is, of course, notorious for flame wars. But ad hominem arguments and personal slights are not encoded on silicon chips. The vast majority of subscribers enter with good intentions but somehow, through this new medium, good intentions can be undermined with slight spins to which others can take offense. So please be careful about process -- about how you say what you wish to say. Help us keep the intended meaning of the word "communications" in CSF. _______________________________________________________________________ ******** CSF/CU POLICY ON COPYRIGHT MATERIAL ******** CSF is housed at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The University provides not only the infrastructure but other support for CSF. Since CSF runs on a "CU machine," we follow current policies of CU. One important policy is that copyright materials can not be distributed on discussion lists nor archived in web sites at the university. We appreciate your cooperation in support of this policy.

It's an announcement of a new list that is meant to replace the list marxism-feminism which is currently located at Virginia. The announcement that was posted here was a copy of the announcement written specifically for marxism-feminism, and hence the confusion. This here list, matfem, remains unchanged. -malgosia From gimenez@csf.Colorado.EDU Fri May 22 16:49:54 1998 Date: Fri, 22 May 1998 16:49:45 -0600 (MDT) From: Martha Gimenez To: md7148@cnsvax.albany.edu Subject: Re: ANNOUNCING MARXISM-FEMINISM NEW ADDRESS There are two different lists: MATFEM - Materialist Feminism, which welcomes feminists of all theoretical persuations who self-identify as materialist feminists. MARXISM-FEMINISM, which is dedicated to the exploration of the relevance of Marx for feminist concerns; it is a space for feminists self-identified as Marxist feminists, though it welcomes everyone who wants to join. To post messages to Matfem, send mail to Matfem@csf.colorado.edu To post messages to Marxism-Feminism, send mail to m-fem@csf.colorado.edu M-Fem used to be located elsewhere; now, it joined Matfem and many other lists at CSF. This is why I sent the announcement of the change of address, thinking that perhaps some members of this list might consider joining also M-Fem. I hope this is helpful. Martha E.
