Call for Abstracts
	The Dutch Gender and Technology Association is pleased to announce a
symposium entitled
	Gender and ICT: Where are we at? 
	It will be held in Amsterdam on 17 January 2003. We shall review the
international state-of-the-art and the Dutch situation. A number of
internationally renowned speakers have already agreed to open the day¹s
discussion, including Wendy Faulkner, Knut Sørensen and Liesbet van Zoonen.
	During the afternoon there will be parallel sessions. We invite
abstracts on the following themes:
		*	social relations of the Internet 
		*	gender and the design of ICT 
		*	the digital divide 
	Both theoretically and empirically focused presentations are
welcome.
	The deadline for abstracts (max. 400 words) is November 15. The
final programme will be available by December 15. The working language of
the symposium will be English. 
	Abstracts may be submitted to: Els Rommes
e.w.m.rommes at wmw.utwente.nl or Sally Wyatt: wyatt at pscw.uva.nl . 
	Unfortunately, we have no funding available to help cover expenses
of participants. We are considering to turn some of the papers into an
edited book (in which publisher Rowman & Littlefield has expressed
interest).
