About WW 2011
Around the world, women are grappling with changing political, cultural, economic, social, and environmental realities. And the effects of numerous crises — be they economic, ecological, or health-related — intensify obstacles to women’s equality.
As global hierarchies realign, how are gender roles and identities evolving?
How are social identifications like power, privilege, citizenship, and nation affected?
Where globalization and women are concerned, provocative questions abound. Examining these complex issues means reflecting on, learning, and sharing a variety of ideas and experiences — especially those of women most deeply affected. WW 2011 will be just the kind of space for this critical conversation.
