Women and Mining in Asia and the Pacific Guest Editors: Amrita Malhi and Kathryn Robinson Publication Date: June 2010 There is a growing literature on women's engagement with mining in the Asia-Pacific region. Earlier literature mainly discussed mining's impacts on gender relations, and on women as maintainers of community-based livelihoods and mining families. However recent changes in mining employment have led to newer studies of women as mine workers themselves. This special issue aims to bring together studies by academics and industry practitioners who are involved in understanding both types of mining impacts on women: as family and community members, and as mine workers. We are also interested in exploring the academic interface between research on women and analyses of social, environmental and cultural heritage impacts. Traditions of scholarship in which women's roles can be obscured (for example, in history, politics and anthropology) have implications for the social analysis which informs mining companies' practices on the ground. Papers should be submitted by Friday, 4 September 2009. We welcome authors to communicate with us in preparing their papers before this date. Please send expressions of interest to Amrita Malhi . Intersections is a scholarly journal which is placed at the junction of historical and contemporary concerns. Intersections will continue to emphasise the paramount importance of research into the multiple historical and cultural, gender and sexuality patterns in Asian and the Pacific—patterns that are crucial for the understanding of contemporary globalised societies, where identities and social relations are constantly being negotiated against the background of dominant narratives. The review process is double blind and each contribution will be reviewed by two referees. Please refer to the Intersections submissions website for further information, advice on styles and submission requirements. |
