Yearbook for Women's and Gender Studies invites contributions for Vol. 16(2011) Submission Deadline: August 31st 2011 Topic: Multi-directional Transfers. Internationalization of Gender Studies Edited by Doerte Segebart, Berlin, and Doris Wastl-Walter, Bern Internationality is one of the almost unquestioned qualities of modern academia, another “excellence criterion" next to innovation, visibility, interdisciplinarity, and equal opportunity. Internationalization can be just another criterion that must be met or it might increase the pressure that so many already feel. However, it is possible that it offers chances and risks that have yet to be sufficiently discussed. Gender research and those various institutions working in the field of gender studies are also involved in internationalization debates or processes. Although the internationalization of gender studies is an important step towards the discussion and application of feminist approaches and practices on local, regional, national, and/or global levels, its impacts remain under-researched. Vol. 16(2011) of the Yearbook is addressed to these problems. Contributions from all disciplines and all areas are welcome. Please find the complete call for papers at: http://www.querelles.de/index.php/qjb/pages/view/call2011en With this edition the Yearbook also implements another innovation: the conversion to an open access periodical.

Jahrbuch für Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung, Bd. 16(2011) erbeten. Einreichungsschluss: 31. Mai 2011. Thema: Multidirektionale Transfers. Internationalität in der Geschlechterforschung Hg. von Dörte Segebart, Berlin, und Doris Wastl-Walter, Bern. Internationalität gilt neben Innovation, Sichtbarkeit, Interdisziplinarität und Gleichstellung als nahezu unhinterfragbares Qualitätsmerkmal moderner Wissenschaft, als wichtiges „Exzellenzkriterium“. Internationalisierung kann ein Kriterium neben anderen sein, das einfach erfüllt werden muss oder den Leistungsdruck unter dem viele stehen noch erhöht. Möglicherweise bietet es jedoch Chancen und Risiken, die bisher noch wenig thematisiert wurden. Auch die Geschlechterforschung und viele Gender Studies Institutionen sind in Internationalisierungsdebatten oder –prozesse involviert. Auch wenn die Internationalisierung der Geschlechterforschung ein wichtiger Schritt ist, um feministische Praktiken und Ansätze auf lokaler, regionaler, nationaler und/oder globaler Ebene anzuwenden oder zu diskutieren, bleibt ihre Auswirkung bisher weitgehend unerforscht. Der Band 16(2011) des Jahrbuchs Querelles ist der Diskussion dieser Fragen gewidmet. Beiträge aus allen Disziplinen und Regionen sind willkommen. Hier der vollständige Call for Papers: http://www.querelles.de/index.php/qjb/pages/view/call2011de Mit Band 16(2011) von Querelles ist eine weitere Neuerung verbunden: die Überführung des Jahrbuchs in ein elektronisches Open-Access-Periodikum. Diese Umstellung wird gefördert durch die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.

Building on the success of the three previous Congresses held in Berlin (2000), Washington (2004), and Melbourne, Australia (2008), this multidisciplinary Congress is expected to attract in excess of 1,000 mental health professionals, researchers, educators, healthcare workers, administrators, policy makers, academics, consumers, careers and field workers from across the globe. The International Association for Women’s Mental Health will present an innovative program focusing on the psychosocial, biological and clinical sciences of women’s mental health from individual, family, society, community and global perspectives. Through a series of keynote lectures, symposia, plenaries, paper sessions, posters and workshops, we will explore the psychosocial, economic and cultural contexts of women’s mental health as well as the genetic, cellular, neural, hormonal, pharmacologic and other basic science aspects. Clinicians of all disciplines including psychiatry, psychology, obstetrics, gynecology, family healthcare, social work, nursing and community health will contribute their knowledge on best practices and innovative developments to improve women’s mental health across the lifespan. Social issues such as war, violence, poverty, famine, discrimination, social roles, aging, education, work and relationships, vital to understanding women’s mental health, will be examined from international perspectives. The program will be complemented by an extensive trade exhibition featuring the latest developments, publications and innovations in the field. We look forward to seeing you at the 4th World Congress on Women’s Mental Health in Madrid in March 2011. Susan G.

G&D is essential reading for all concerned with gender-fair development. We are currently read in over 90 countries, and our content is published as a journal, both on-line and in print. We also publish our content on our free access website: please visit www.genderanddevelopment.org Development and feminist policymakers and practitioners, and academic researchers, are all invited to share insights from research and experience of Citizenship-focused development/humanitarian work in particular country contexts, which has direct relevance to development policy and practice. This issue focuses on development initiatives and activism focusing on the gender aspects of Citizenship – the relationship between people and the state. • For women all over the world, the status of independent citizen, with political, social and economic equality with men, has been hard-won. In many countries, struggles continue to ensure states treat women equally with men, in law, policy and practice. • Particular challenges face both women and men, boys and girls, in so-called ‘failed’ or ‘fragile’ states: survival in the face of violence, insecurity, and lack of the most basic resources. • Denial of women’s equal rights may be used as a reason to intervene and seek regime change in supposedly independent sovereign states, and controversies rage about this. • Another set of challenges comes from global economic change. Unregulated market forces leave the state little power to protect citizens, and millions of women and men migrant workers are living as aliens in states where they have no citizenship, and no recourse when their rights are violated by employers. How do these facts affect women’s ability to realise their rights and entitlements as citizens, and what does this mean for poverty and development? What is the role of development and women’s organisations in supporting active citizens and effective states? We'd envisage articles focusing on international development projects, including advocacy, information and community development, aiming to address the following: • Working on women’s citizenship rights in a context of failing states • What do citizenship and legal equality mean for women in countries where custom and customary law still dictate their realities? How can development organisations help? • When citizenship is mediated/shaped by religion and religious institutions: what are the implications for women, their dependents, and gender equality? What can we do? • Researching gender and citizenship: key emerging research questions, most interesting and/or innovative research methods, research gaps • Getting women’s citizenship rights high on the agendas of development organisations – what are the links between citizenship, national development, and poverty alleviation? Lessons from different organisations and how gender advocates have done this • Citizenship and migrant workers: how can they realise their rights? Are there special challenges for women workers? • Gender, citizenship and identity – what happens to women’s citizenship rights when other kinds of rights come into focus? • Gender, citizenship and reform agendas This issue is to be jointly edited by Lina Abou-Habib, Director of the Collective for Research and Training on Development – Action (Lebanon), and incoming President of the Association for Women’s Rights in Development (AWID); Jo Rowlands, of Oxfam GB; and Caroline Sweetman, Editor of Gender & Development. Please send a paragraph outlining your proposed idea to csweetman@oxfam.org.uk, as soon as possible, and before the commissioning deadline: 21 February 2011. If we are able to offer space for your contribution, we will write to you by 1 March to say so. Commissioned articles will need to be completed for a deadline of 15 May 2011. Please note G&D has an editorial policy of publishing in clear, jargon-free English, in order to be of use to the widest possible readership. G&D particularly welcomes contributions from first-time writers with first-hand experience to share.

The film shows that addressing the needs of the ultra-poor -those living on less than $1.25 day- involves more than just providing them with capital, and must be viewed through a wider lens. The film also captures the powerful effects that increased self?confidence and empowerment that come from participating in Trickle Up's program have in helping women break the vicious cycle of extreme poverty.
