SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S POLICY
RESEARCH CONFERENCE:

IWPR’s Seventh International Women’s Policy Research Conference, “Women Working to Make A Difference,” co-sponsored by the Women’s Studies Program of The George Washington University and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, will be held June 22-24, 2003, at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. The conference will address a range of issues related to women’s economic, political, health, and social status.

IWPR welcomes proposals that focus on policies affecting women and that make connections between research and policymaking. We particularly welcome proposals addressing issues of race/ethnicity, class, disability status, and sexual orientation across the full life-cycle of women including girlhood, adolescence, adulthood, and older age. Proposals for panels (groups of 3 papers) and roundtables comprising members of diverse communities–e.g., researchers, policymakers, and advocates, or women of different generations, nations, or cultural communities are particularly welcome. Abstracts of proposed presentations are due by December 6, 2002.
