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
