4th Annual Open Repositories Conference

https://or09.library.gatech.edu/

Submission Deadline extended to 2/26/09

Repositories are being deployed in a variety of environments (education, research, science, cultural heritage) and contexts (national, regional, institutional, project, lab, personal). Regardless of setting, context or scale, repositories are increasingly expected to operate across administrative and disciplinary boundaries and to interact with distributed computational services and social communities. It is the aim of the Open Repositories Conference to bring together individuals and organizations responsible for the conception, development, implementation and management of digital repositories, as well as stakeholders who interact with them, to address theoretical, practical, and strategic issues.

A program of papers, panel discussions, poster presentations, user groups, and workshops or tutorials will bring together all the key stakeholders in the field. Open source software community meetings for the major platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) will also provide opportunities to advance and coordinate the development of repository installations across the world.

Submission Instructions

Conference Proposals: We welcome two- to four-page proposals for presentations or panels that discuss theoretical, practical, or administrative issues of digital repositories that focus on areas represented by the conference themes. Abstracts of accepted proposals will be made available through the conference’s OCS site; all presentations and related materials used in the program sessions will be deposited in the upcoming Open Repositories 2009 community in Georgia Tech’s institutional repository, SMARTech (http://SMARTech.gatech.edu).

User Group Presentations: Two- to four-page proposals for presentations or panels that focus on use of one of the major repository platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) are invited from developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories.

Posters: We also invite developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners to submit one-page proposals for posters.

Workshops: Proposals for workshops for repository managers and developers can be accommodated on day four (May 21, 2009) of the conference. Please contact the local arrangements team for inquiries about workshop facilities at or09info@library.gatech.edu.

Age: The Unacknowledged Margin

National Women’s Studies Association (NWSA), Atlanta, GA, November 12-15,
2009

For more conference details, see http://www.nwsaconference.org/
 

Abstract deadline: February 1, 2009
 

This is the guaranteed panel of the NWSA’s Aging and Ageism Caucus.
 

The theme of this year’s NWSA conference–“Difficult Dialogues”–aims to
“examine how feminist intellectual, political, and institutional practices
cannot be adequately practiced if the politics of gender are conceptualized
(overtly or implicitly) as superseding or transcending the politics of race,
sexuality, social class, nation, and disability.”  Similarly, the conference
CFP focuses on how intellectual work is done “margin to margin,”
questionning what sorts of institutional, curricular and pedagogical
relationships Women’s Studies holds with “Black/Africana/African Diaspora
Studies, Ethnic Studies, Latino/a/Latin-American Studies, Asian/Asian
American/Pacific Rim Studies, Disability Studies, Girls’ Studies, and Gay
and Lesbian/Queer Studies”? 
 

The “politics of age” and Aging Studies are noticeably absent from these
lists.  Why?
 

Over 20 years ago, Barbara MacDonald spoke on a plenary before the NWSA and
claimed ageism as a central feminist issue.  3 years ago, another NWSA
plenary session and a special issue of the NWSA journal were dedicated to
aging studies.  So why does “age”–and the related fields of “Age Studies” or
“Aging Studies”–remain an unacknowledged margin within the academy in
general and within Women’s Studies in particular? We seek papers that
address this central question through a variety of lenses.  Possible themes
might include, but are not limited to:

*       how age operates as an identity category
*       why aging is “a central feminist issue”
*       how the politics of age impact the politics of gender, race,
sexuality, social class, nation, and disability
*       how the experience of ageism is inflected by sexism, racism,
socioeconomic inequalities and other forms of discrimination
*       how feminist theory and critical age theory might productively
inform one another
*       how feminist critiques of the assumptions that ground liberalism and
science inform age studies
*       innovative ways that Age Studies might be incorporated into Women’s
Studies’ curricula

 

Send 250-word abstracts or full papers by February 1, 2009. Please include
your full name, institutional affiliation (if applicable), mailing address,
and email address in the proposal. Email submissions strongly preferred.
(If you cannot submit via email for some reason, please contact the

Gender, Ethnicity and the Nation-State: Anatolia and Its Neighboring Regions

Call for Papers for Hrant Dink Memorial Workshop 2009

Gender, Ethnicity and the Nation-State:
Anatolia and Its Neighboring Regions

May 21-24, 2009

Sabanci University – Istanbul

We are pleased to announce our second workshop in memory of Hrant Dink. The
theme of this year’s workshop is “Gender, Ethnicity and the Nation-State:
Anatolia and Its Neighboring Regions,” focusing on the moments of
transformation in gender relations and ethnic identity during both the
construction of nation-states and their various transformation(s) throughout
the 20th century.

Gender and ethnicity have been key categories of differentiation and
conflict in nationalisms and nation-states, interacting with each other in
multiple ways. Although nationalisms and nation-states typically claim
equality as their basic organizing principle, the past century is marked by
tensions in definitions and practices of gender and ethnicity. These
tensions have taken violent forms during times of war and ethnic conflict,
and have undergone transformations in response to processes of
state-building, breakdown of states, socialism and postsocialism, forced or
voluntary migrations within and across nation-states, democratization, and
the proliferation of social movements incuding feminist, LGBTT (Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual and Transgender), and religious movements.
Towards the end of the 20th century, globalization has triggered the crisis
of the nation-state and its discourses, and the increasing prominence of
supranational and subnational political processes have generated new
conceptualizations of gender and ethnicity.

The goal of this year’s workshop is to shed light on and problematize the
multiple ways in which constructions and transformations of gender and
ethnicity in and beyond nation-states have shaped Anatolia and its
neighboring regions in the 20th century. Papers that examine contemporary
transformations along the lines of gender and ethnicity are particularly
welcome. Yet we are also interested in rethinking the transformation from
empire to nation-state earlier in the century.

The turn of the 20th century was marked by radical changes in men’s and
women’s lives in the Ottoman Empire. Established understandings of
masculinity and femininity were challenged and redefined at the same time as
ethnicity gained ground as an organizing political principle. The histories
of this period have been dominated by Orientalist and nationalist
scholarship. To this day, for instance, “Ottoman history” is often assumed
to refer to “Turkish-Muslim” history and, in Turkey, statements that depict
“the first novel”, “the first woman novelist”, “the first time women gained
access to education”, and so on, disregard the non-Muslim subjects of the
Ottoman Empire and their public participation. Public and scholarly debates
over how to account for the violent transformations of the 1910s and 1920s
continue to be polarized. In recent years, a growing body of literature has
challenged both the Orientalist and nationalist frameworks of earlier
historiographies. Yet, there are surprisingly few studies that are able to
move beyond methodological nationalism: histories of Armenian women, Turkish
women, Kurdish women, Arab women, Greek women, and so on, exist as parallel,
non-intersecting histories. There are even fewer studies that analyze
masculinities, sexualities, and gender relations at large.

Drawing on Hrant Dink’s legacy of exploring our “shared” histories, as well
as our shared present and future, our aim in this workshop is to go beyond
such methodological nationalism. We seek to encourage, instead, a debate on
the contexts of differentiation (and unification) along gender and ethnic
lines. We welcome all papers that explore the ways in which definitions and
practices of gender and ethnicity have together shaped and have been shaped
in turn by political and economic transformations in Anatolia and its
neighboring regions from the early 20th into the 21st century.

Application deadline is March 1, 2009.

NWSA Panel Papers: Care Ethics and Intersectionality

Call for NWSA Panel Papers: Care Ethics and Intersectionality

Although care ethics has been around for a quarter century and intersectional concerns are driving much of contemporary feminist social analysis, little has been written about how care ethics might contribute to addressing the linkages between oppressions such as racism, sexism, homophobia, and ableism.  Care ethics, as conceived by many theorists, has emotional and imaginative resources that can allow for understanding across systems of oppression.  Scholars from any discipline are invited to submit a brief abstract that addresses the connection between care and intersectionality for a potential panel at the 2009 NWSA Annual Conference in Atlanta Georgia, November 12-15.  Intersectionality is one of the major themes of the conference.  The nature of potential panel presentations is open.  Possible topics might include but are not limited to theoretical approaches to care and intersectionality, case studies of caring across oppressive experience, ethnographic examples, histo!
 rical examples or literary analysis.  Papers for this session should be 10-12 minutes long.  Right now, all I am looking for are short proposals of about 100 words (you do not need the full paper at this time).  Please send paper proposals to Maurice Hamington before January 23 at mhamingt@mscd.edu or Hamington@earthlink.net

For more information on the NWSA Annual Conference Call for Papers and the theme of Intersection (CFP Theme #2) see http://www.nwsaconference.org/cms/?q=node/21

AMCIS 2009 : ICT Support for Social Inclusion, and Participation Track

Technology has become a ubiquitous part of daily life ever since the introduction of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). With the advent of social software heralded from the web2.0 era organizations have been using technologies such as blogs, wiki, collaboration websites and social networking tools to fulfil the personal and organizational, societal and humanitarian goals. This trend is creating a new set of social entrepreneurs and social enterprises supported by ICT. The growth of open source technology and public domain material such as  MIT open courseware and creative commons digital resources is allowing people from a variety of backgrounds and demographics to access educational resources, knowledge and expertise that would not be available to them without ICT.

The aim of this mini-track will be to offer a global perspective of how ICTs are being diffused, used and adopted within to support organizations, governments, NGOs, households and communities leading to social inclusion. By undertaking this research academics, industry and government agencies will learn what groups in society are being affected by social inclusion and what measures are being undertaken to have households and the various social communities adopt and use the ICTs.  Further benefits include, a novel focus to the social inclusion area that will be presented offering innovative ideas of how people are becoming active participants in society by adopting ICTs

Topics of interest to this track include:

         How is the adoption and usage of  broadband networks, mobile phones  and other new communication technologies  leading to social inclusion

         The impact of trends such as web2.0, open mobile internet, social networking on digital inclusion

         The impacts of social /digital inclusion upon various social communities (eg. Residential neighbourhoods, genders, age groups)

         Evaluation of the technological and non-technological aspects of the digital/social inclusion of ICTs

         Evaluating the tangible and intangible benefits of social/digital inclusion occurring due to ICTs

         The diffusion, adoption and usage of ICTs causing social/digital inclusion in developing countries

         Evaluation and discussion papers investigating whether there are any  or no differences between social and/or digital inclusion.

         The  diffusion, adoption and usage of ICTs causing social/digital inclusion within various social communities

         Stakeholder theory and the social/digital inclusion issue occurring due to ICTs

         How are e- government initiatives leading to social/digital inclusion due to ICTs

         Human Computer Interaction issues leading to social/digital inclusion issues but in the context of ICTs.

         Digital/Social Inclusion in an Organisational Context
