2nd Gender in Forestry Conference - Umeå, Sweden 15-18 June 2009
by Burger
Dear Forest-L Reader,
The 2nd Gender in Forestry Conference, Making a difference in theory and
practice will be held in Umeå, Sweden on 15-18 June 2009.
The conference is organized by the Faculty of Forest Sciences, SLU in
cooperation with FAO, UNECE and IUFRO.
With this conference, we believe that another step towards a better
understanding of gender in the forestry sector will be gained and ideas for
resolving gender issues can be generated. We seek reports on progress and
backlashes to help identify the means and actions that have proven to be
effective. Those will be organized into the following topics:
1. Making a difference through education, knowledge exchange, and capacity
building
2. Making a difference through policies and statistical analysis
3. Making a difference through cooperation, networking and the
establishments of role models
4. Making a difference through advances in theoretical and empirical
research
