Call for Papers Theme: Building Resilience Subtitle: Dialogue, Collaboration and Partnerships across Our Differences Type: 3rd World Conference on Women's Studies Institution: International Institute of Knowledge Management (TIIKM) Bridgewater State University Location: Colombo (Sri Lanka) Date: 4.–6.5.2017 Deadline: 9.2.2017 __________________________________________________ The International Institute of Knowledge Management (TIIKM) along with the Bridgewater State University proudly present The 3rd World Conference on Women’s Studies – WCWS 2017 from 4th – 6th May 2017 in Colombo, Sri Lanka under the theme “Building Resilience: Dialogue, Collaboration and Partnerships across Our Differences”. This theme does not imply that we overlook, deny or undermine the important differences that characterize us and shape our lives and interests. However, it does suggest that to build women’s movements that are truly global in character, we must build inclusive coalitions that broaden mutual awareness both by seeking commonalities across our differences and by learning from one another’s unique circumstances. In addition, we must be inclusive of our male and transgender allies, and we hope to encourage scholars, activists, academicians, students, and policymakers to learn from one another recognizing how historical power dynamics across class, ethnicity, race, sexuality, gender and nationality can be bridged. Because the vibrant field of Women’s Studies spans the humanities, social, natural and physical sciences, panels will include papers from across the disciplines. Please submit the abstracts of your research papers according to the given format on or before 9th February 2017. All abstracts will undergo a double blind peer reviewing process by world recognized International reviewers. All authors of the accepted presentations should register before 13th April 2017 to be eligible to be able to present at the conference. We recommend that you register early and reserve your seat for this global gathering. We also would like to encourage opportunities for publishing your conference papers. As with WCWS 2016, the Journal of International Women’s Studies (JIWS) will publish selected proceedings from the conference. Participants can also choose to publish your papers in supporting journals (research papers will follow conventional processes of selection by the editorial board of relevant journal) or in the TIIKM conference proceedings, which includes a DOI number and Indexing. We welcome you to submit a presentation proposal either for a 20-minute oral presentation or a poster presentation. Parallel sessions are loosely grouped into streams reflecting overlapping themes or disciplines. Each stream also has its own talking circle. For those unable to attend the Conference in person, virtual participation is also available.
