CALL FOR PAPERS
WOMEN, SCIENCE AND DEVELOPMENT
FROM INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE TO NEW INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
The University of the South Pacific, Suva, Fiji, will host the VIII
Pacific Science Association Inter-Congress from 13-19 July, 1997. A
special sympposium, =22Women, Science and Development: From Indigenous
Knowldege to New Information Technologies' is being organized under the
auspices of the Pacific Science Association and the Gender, Science and
Development Programme of the International Federation of Institutes for
Advanced Study. These topics have evolved from successful sessions on
Women and Development (Honolulu, 1991) and Human Resources for the Future:
Women and Young Scientists in Asian and Pacific Science (Beijing 1995).
The symposium will also build on the recommendations of the Gender Working
Group of the U.N. Commission on Science and Technology for Development and
highlight the SPACHE ECOWOMAN and the WAINIMATE Traditional Medicine
projects. Sessions will be organized around two major themes: 'Women,
Science and Indigeious Knowledge (women's traditional knowledge,
'indigeious' and 'western' science, the integraion of women's knowledge
into development planning, etc.) and 'Women, Science and New Information
Technologies (gender dimensions of information and communication
technologies, empowerment through access to information, women and
information technologies in Asia and the Pacific, etc.) There is
increasing international interest in 'science in other places' as well as
'science with other faces' and these sessions will provide an arena for a
regional exploration of both. Co-organizers are Nancy D. Lewis,
University of Hawaii, Leba Haolfaki Mataitini, University of the South
Pacific, and Titilia Naitini, SPACHE. The early registration deadline for
the Inter-Congress is January 31, 1997. Registration deadline is April 1,
1997. Registration must accompany submission of abstracts. Information
