Gender, socialism and globalization in contemporary Vietnam and China

Call for Papers by 28 February 2003

The Gender Relations Centre, at the Research School of Pacific and
Asian Studies, the Australian National University, invites expressions
of interest and proposals for papers for a workshop on gender,
socialism and globalization in Vietnam and China. The workshop is to
be held at the ANU in Canberra on the 25-26 November 2003. It will
address issues relating to gender relations in two East Asian
socialist societies undergoing market liberalization and
globalization.  Papers should seek to contribute to one or more of the
following questions: How might a comparative analysis of gender in
contemporary China and Vietnam suggest new models or theories of
state-society relations, social change and/or development in socialist
societies?  In what ways has gender shaped or been implicated in
discourses of development and modernity in contemporary Vietnam and
China?  How might a 'history of the present' of gender in China and
Vietnam indicate both continuities and disjunctures between
colonialism, socialism and post socialism?  How have gender relations
been shaped in the intersections between state socialism and global
capitalism in China and Vietnam?

Students and scholars who wish to present papers at the workshop or
serve as chairs, discussants, or commentators, should contact Dr
Tamara Jacka, (contact details below) as soon as possible. Paper
abstracts of no more than 250 words should be submitted by February
28, 2003. A total of no more than twenty papers will be selected for
inclusion in the workshop.
