Subject: Gender, Science and Technology - Call for papers - please circulate

The International Journal of Gender Science and
Technology is an independent, peer reviewed, open
access journal that welcomes contributions from
practitioners, researchers and policy makers
concerned with gender issues in and of science
and technology. The phrase gender, science and
technology intends to encompass a wide definition
of these disciplines both in terms of
methodological enquiry as well as subjects of
research.

Our aim is to help foster and provide a focus for
constructive debate and interchange of ideas
between key players and experts in this field. We
are interested in sharing knowledge and new
understandings in relation to policy development,
analysis of challenges and responses in education
and employment, critical insights from companies,
professional societies and other organisations
about the impact of gender equality strategies,
as well as perspectives from science and
technology studies - and other related issues. We
welcome contributions from a variety of
disciplines and interdisciplinary perspectives
and drawing on a wide range of theoretical
frameworks.

We are currently inviting submissions in the form of

· Full empirical research and theoretical papers
· Practitioner case studies and reports
· Opinions and perspectives from policy-makers and industry

For further information, including details of the
submission process: http://genderandset.open.ac.uk
Any enquiries please contact Dr Jenni Carr -
IJGST Project Officer (j.g.carr@...)

The first issue will be published online in July
2009 (latest submission for this issue is April
30th)
Further issues will appear every 4 months. We look forward to hearing from you!


This journal is being produced by the Open
University UK in partnership with the UK Resource
Centre for Women in SET
