Gendered experiences and understandings of conflicts and their impact on narratives of an imagined peace also influence post-conflict transformations. There are both hegemonic and alternative narratives and practices. These alternative gender practices often inspired dreams of a more gender equal post-conflict world, hopes fueled by official narratives promising just that. Yet, these promises have rarely been fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">45 minute talk followed by\u00a0break-out sessions\u00a0on security issues and navigating spaces for productive research and engagement<\/p>\n<p>Afternoon: Break-Out Sessions followed by\u00a0report-back and discussion.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Session 1\n<ul>\n<li>a) Security, Gender and Emotions (Jane Parpart as lead facilitator)<\/li>\n<li>b) Why Understanding Culture &amp; Gender Matters (Sarah Kinyanjui as lead facilitator)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Session 2<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a) Natural resource governance (Tim Shaw as lead facilitator)<\/li>\n<li>b) Why Understanding Culture &amp; Gender Matters (Sarah Kinyanjui as lead facilitator)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The full agenda can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/africanstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/Summer-Institute-schedule-May-31.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.umb.edu\/academics\/mgs\/faculty\/timothy_m._shaw\" target=\"_blank\">Tim Shaw<\/a>\u00a0 (University of Massachusetts [Boston])<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.umb.edu\/academics\/mgs\/faculty\/jane_l_parpart\" target=\"_blank\">Jane Parpart <\/a>(University of Massachusetts [Boston])<\/li>\n<li>Sarah Kinyanjui (University of Nairobi)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carleton.ca\/africanstudies\/people\/nduka-otiono\/\">Nduka Otiono<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/socanth\/people\/rutherford-blair\/\">Blair Rutherford<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/people\/buss-doris-e\/\">Doris Buss<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Date and time<\/strong>: 9:00am-5:00pm | Saturday,\u00a0June 6 &#8211; Sunday, June 7, 2015<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong>: 2017\u00a0<a title=\"Location of the Dunton Tower at Carleton University Campus\" href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/campus\/dunton-tower-dt\" target=\"_blank\">Dunton Tower<\/a>, <a title=\"Main Carleton University website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.carleton.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Carleton University<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Enrolment Fee<\/strong>:\u00a0The registration fee for the seminar is $400.00 plus HST per person or $200.00 plus HST for current students.\u00a0The registration fee includes two days of instruction, coffee breaks and lunches.\u00a0<strong>EARLY BIRD DEALS:\u00a0<\/strong>Register before May 15th for only $300 plus HST per person or $150 plus HST for current students.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workshop leaders<\/strong>:\u00a0Tim Shaw and Jane Parpart<\/p>\n<p>To register for this workshop, click the link below.
