Subject: Directory of Gender Studies in Eastern Europe and former

Dear  all,

As some of you probably know Rossitsa, Gustava, and myself are
involved into compiling "The Directory of Gender Studies in Eastern
Europe and former Soviet Union". This work is sponsored by two
institutions - outr program at CEU  and  the "Regional Women's
Program."

The Regional Women's Program was set up just last fall by the Soros
foundation and OSI; and its  aim is to bring together
researchers and activists from Central and Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union.

The aim of the Directory is to include as many scientists,
researchers, educators as well as the centers, institutions, and
universities with which they are accociated, as possible.

It is understood that "gender studies"  here is to mean an
academic program (a course, a series of courses, a degree
program, a series of seminars or workshops, etc.) conducted in a
private or state-funded educational or research institution.
Courses, programs, and workshops organized by independent
centers and NGOs, as well as publication of materials on gender
issues, certainly fit this description, too.

Three of us are sending around messages asking people about their
programs, but we also think that you, as students at CEU, might
know people who have been so far outside of our scope. Please, feel
free to forward the message below to the people who you think might
be interested in submitting the info about themselves to this
Directory.
Thanks, and  all the best,

Serguei A. Oushakine

It would certainly help if you decide to include a more detailed
information about the program(s) in gender studies (e.g, the
description of the course, its content, and bibliography) so
that the directory would be more specific.

We do understand that it might  take some time and effort to
provide us with this information, but we think that the benefits
of  this cooperation are ostensible. And we would certainly
appreciate any information you would  be willing to share with
us. Besides, the access to the information network, The Regional
Women's Program is now preparing  the first Regional women's
conference in Belgrade (tentatively, September-October, 1998).
Based on the information collected a certain number of small
grants and fellowships to conduct research in gender studies
will be distributed.

Please, feel  free to distribute this message among your friends
so that the directory would be as comprehensive as possible. If
you have any questions and/or comments, I could be contacted at
the  address indicated below or via this e-mail..

Good luck to you.
