We are excited to announce the launch of The Gender & Ecology
Papers, a new online paper series of the National Network on Environments
and Women’s Health.
The Gender & Ecology Papers is a student-generated paper series, designed
to facilitate discussions of gendered environmental health and engage students
in applied ecology research. This paper series is committed to supporting and
publishing academic research that contributes to a greater awareness of the interrelatedness
of gender and ecology. We encourage creative and thought-provoking submissions
from all academic disciplines, including environmental studies, women’s
studies, anthropology, chemistry, biology, geography and sociology.
The Gender & Ecology Papers is a refereed paper series that is produced
by the National Network for Environments and Women’s Health at York
University. The series will be published 2 times a year during the winter,
summer semesters and papers will be available to be downloaded free from
our website in PDF format.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:
Winter 2009 Issue
Deadline: January 30th, 2009
Gender, Food and Agriculture
The Gender & Ecology Papers series is seeking submissions for its Winter
2009 issue on Gender, Food and Agriculture, which will feature
academic works that contribute various data, analysis and perspectives on
subjects related to farming and food using a gendered lens. In recent years,
both academic and public concern has grown over issues related to agricultural
practice, food safety and human health. Scholarly research can contribute
significantly to this discourse by highlighting the role of gender in these
relationships, as well as the social, physical, biological and environmental
factors that influence how food and farming are understood and managed. Possible
topics include, but are not limited to:
- Pesticides
and women’s health
- Developmental/health
effects from agricultural chemical exposure
- Gender
and reproduction as they relate to agricultural chemicals
- Food
additives and men’s health
- Organic
food and women’s health
- The
reproductive health of male farmers using industrial farming techniques
- Bio-tech/GMO
foods and gendered health
Papers on virtually all related topics and themes will be considered, and
submissions are encouraged from both undergraduate and graduate contributors.
Theoretical and applied works are welcome and should be accessible to a wide
range of readership. Paper submissions should be no more than 2500 words
(approximately 10 pages). The Gender & Ecology Papers will also accept
submissions of visual art (video length 5-10 minutes), poetry and photography
for online publication. It is through these multiple forms of expression
that we wish to promote creative thought and discourse surrounding this issue’s
topic of gender, food and agriculture.
Deadline: Article abstracts are due by January 30th, 2009.

Summer 2009 Issue

Gender, Health and Chemical Consumption
The Gender & Ecology Papers series is seeking submissions for its Summer
2009 issue on Gender, Health and Chemical Consumption, which
will feature academic works that examine various aspects of the relationship
between gender, health and chemical consumption through various pathways
and routes of exposure. The growing discourse surrounding food additives
and toxic cosmetic ingredients has raised interesting questions about chemical
consumption and its implications for gendered health. Academic analysis and
discussion can play an important role in contributing to a greater awareness
of the gendered health consequences of chemical consumption. Possible topics
include, but are not limited to:
- Women
and cosmetic use
- Household
products and gendered health
- Chemical
consumption through personal care products
- Maternal
health and pesticide exposure
- Artificial
food colouring and children’s health
- Chemical
additives in the food choices of teenagers
Papers on virtually all related topics and themes will be considered, and
