All new Representative terms begin next fall. Please join me in congratulating these new members of our Steering Committee!
I want to extend my deep gratitude to those rotating off the Committee this year: Janet Kourany, Sarah McKibben, Jason Ruiz, Abby Jorgensen, and Molly Burton. GSSC service was especially tough this year given the work our program did on our self study. I appreciate the extra time and effort all of them put into this important document on behalf of our program’s future. Mary Ellen Konieczny, who is no longer with us, was especially instrumental in helping us to prioritize our goals, and we miss her insight, investment, and warmth.
Lastly, thanks to all of you who took the time to vote.
I appreciate your ongoing commitment to the Gender Studies Program.
All the best,
Mary

The Challenges of Conducting Fieldwork through a Gender Lens
You are invited to attend a panel discussion on "The Challenges of Conducting Fieldwork through a Gender Lens", with women academics who have ample experience conducting fieldwork. Some of the questions to be discussed include: what are some of the aspects that women need to consider when planning on conducting fieldwork? what are some of the ethical challenges in conducting fieldwork? do those vary between men and women researchers? how do security concerns vary when we consider the researcher’s gender?
Panelists will present their perspectives followed by interventions from the audience. If you are considering conducting fieldwork or participating in a research abroad program, or if you have conducted fieldwork and would like to share your experience please make sure to mark your calendar.
Moderators:
Profs. Jaimie Bleck (political science) and
Catherine Bolten (anthropology and peace studies)
Date:
April 9, at 4:30 pm, Hesburgh Center C-103
Reception to follow.
This event is made possible thanks to generous support from: the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts, the Gender Studies Program, and the Department of Political Science.

Gender Studies is about understanding people, both yourself and others. Gender Studies teaches us how human identities are shaped by gender and related traits such as sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, religion and nationality. Through Gender Studies, we not only strive to understand people better, but because of this endeavor, we hopefully become more understanding people.
