Hi all and thanks for making it so easy to speak last week, and at such a fruitful meeting!

I just got these in my inbox, and thought some of the membership might be interested:

Power and Control: Domestic Violence in America
(www.powerandcontrolfilm.com) is a new documentary about the shocking
persistence of violence against women in our society.  One in every four
women will experience intimate partner violence, and the film offers a
disturbing, thought provoking exploration of the role of patriarchal values
and other gender influences in the perpetuation of this epidemic.

We are very pleased to announce the eighth biennial
meeting of the International Association for the Study of Sexuality, Culture
and Society (IASSCS), entitled “Naming and Framing: The Making of Sexual
(In)Equality”. This conference is co-organized by the Social Anthropology
Department of Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain. 

The 2011 Conference theme focuses on the multiple
ways that equality and inequality are articulated through sexuality.  The
meeting will explore diverse situations and issues of (in)equality with regard
to sexuality in the global arena, bringing together researchers, advocates,
policymakers and practitioners to critically share their strategies and
challenges that inform and inspire new forms of action and thinking about
sexuality. 

The theme of the meeting invites dialogue and
analyses of the interplay of sexuality, sexual identity, gender, class, race,
ethnicity, age, citizenship and inequality.  As well, the conference theme
invites analyses placed within the context of the state’s willingness (or
reticence) to discuss and incorporate practices, discourses, laws and public
policies that acknowledge sexual rights for all men and women and promote
gender equality, and recognition of sexual diversity. 

THE ABSTRACT DEADLINE IS JANUARY 10th, 2011
