About the Gendering Asia Network

 
 

The Gendering Asia Network provides a forum for exchange of knowledge and contacts among scholars and students working on gender and Asia.

The Network aims to strengthen research and teaching on gender and Asia in the Nordic countries by facilitating contacts both internally among Nordic scholars and students, and also externally between academia in the Nordic countries and our counterparts in Asia and elsewhere in the world.

Currently, the main Network activity is to convene Gendering Asia conferences. The first conference was held in 2005 in Sweden. The second conference will be held in May 2007 in Akureyri, Iceland on the theme Modernity and Gendered Vulnerabilities in Asia.

 

The network was established by the three scholars who also form the network steering committee:
