On May 15-17th, 2008, a small group of some of the original WICZNET members, as well as several new members from the Global South will meet in Dubrovnik, Croatia to identify and assess, from a feminist perspective, the current global moment in terms of militarized violence and to map out a conceptual framework for a new collaborative research project. This initial planning workshop is being jointly hosted by the Croatian women’s organization Zenska Infoteka, as part of Zenska’s annual Women and Politics Conference.
We will then hold a small meeting in Toronto in the summer of 2008 to develop this research project in more detail and to work towards the development of a major collaborative funding initiative that will include more of our collaborators and partners. The August meeting will be held in conjunction with a one-day public forum or seminar that will include our Toronto collaborators.
