Laura McLeod is interested in a panel on feminist security studies, where she can present some of her fieldwork. If others working in this area would like to put together a panel, please email the program chair (Laura Sjoberg) at program@femisa.org.
FTGS is looking for those people who attended the 1989 Gender/IR conference at USC to be a part of a celebratory panel of its 20th anniversary. Please email the program chair (program@femisa.org) if you are interested.
I am interested in putting together a panel to discuss the researchable questions that come from their work with communities, movements actors, or others. An obvious example is "what strategies have worked" coming from organizations who are not part of the well-networked women's networks. These might be questions you are researching or they might be questions that you discovered during your research but you are unable to research for whatever reason.

I am interested in organizing a panel on feminist perspectives on global children's policies. I would also like to explore the possibility of bridging academic and policy circles in the same panel. In the panel, I would like to share my prescriptive chapter, based on an extended case study of youth and popular culture in Guadalajara, Mexico.

I am looking for people interested in a panel on feminist IR and the Middle East (my focus is on Qatar). My paper will be on the construction of victimhood in the Gulf states, so any other panel suggestions related to this topic are also welcome.
Please email Jennifer Heeg Maruska at jch43@georgetown.edu if you're interested.
Nikki Detraz would like to do a panel on gender and security in popular culture. Email the program chair (Laura Sjoberg) at program@femisa.org to participate!
After a hugely successful ISA in San Francisco for the Feminist Security Studies Group, we would like to put out a call for papers for 2009. We welcome all proposals that fall under the broad heading of Feminist Security Studies; however, we have made some general suggestions for panel topics below. If you are interested in being on an organized panel, please send a 250 word paper proposal to megan.mackenzie@ualberta.ca and swatiparashar@hotmail.com by May 10th.
Feel free to distribute this message widely.
“Post”-post conflict
This panel will look at the limitations to understandings of post-conflict as the cessation of formal war. Panelists looking at issues from sexual violence, security, policy to migration are welcome to submit their work.
Revisiting peace and security
This panel will act as an attempt to revisit Ann Tickner’s statement:
“Women have defined security as the absence of violence whether it be military, economic or sexual.” (1992) Participants doing work on the defining features of peace and security are welcome to submit to this panel.
Violent women
This panel will include scholars examining violent women, including (but not limited to): soldiers, mercenaries, rebels, militants, terrorists and political activists.
Sex, Violence and Conflict
This panel should include scholars working in the area of sexual violence both within and outside the boundaries of formal conflict. In particular, participants looking at the continuities between sexual violence within and outside the boundaries of war are encouraged.
Theorizing Feminist Security
This panel will feature scholars who are attempting to theorize security from a feminist perspective.
Engendering Development
The intersections between feminist scholarship, gender studies and development studies will be examined here. Papers could focus on policy, development funding patterns, and/or discourse.
Feminism and “Mainstream” Security Studies The eternal question that has been asked by numerous feminist
scholars: “Should ‘we’ engage with ‘them?’” will be the focus of this panel. Scholars who think they have an answer to this question in relation to feminist security studies and so-called traditional security studies are welcome.
Women Anti-war Activists
In this moment of hyper militarism it should be interesting to focus on female directed anti-war activity and the state of the so-called ‘gender gap’ in terms of support for military activity.
I would like to put together a roundtable/panel on feminist pedagogy after 9/11.
Please contact me at simona.sharoni@gmail.com if you would like to be part of this.
