Online with dispersed “social hubs”
La Trobe University is pleased to announce that it will host the 13th Women in Asia Conference. The theme of this year’s conference is Fashioning Gender in Asia.
Calls for presentations are now open
Presentations are invited in line with five streams:
Fashioning the Body (art, culture, embodiment);
Borders Frayed/Reinforced (nation, citizenship, mobility);
Stitched Together (law, human rights and social justice);
Digital Tapestries (technologies and relationships), and
Materialities (economy, work, education, welfare).
Fashioning Gender in Asia builds on past Women in Asia conferences and the Women’s Forum of the Asian Studies Association of Australia to further research on gender in the Asian region. The conference explores how gender, sexuality and bodies; objects, culture and memory; citizenship, geography and economy, and technology, media and mobility intersect and entwine in the very fabric of gendered personhoods in/of Asia.
