We are excited to announce the launch of The Gender & Ecology Papers, a new online paper series of the National Network on Environments and Women`s Health.
The Gender & Ecology Papers is a student-generated paper series, designed to facilitate discussions of gendered environmental health and engage students in applied ecology research. This paper series is committed to supporting and publishing academic research that contributes to a greater awareness of the interrelatedness of gender and ecology.
We are currently looking for University Students to submit visual art (video length 5-10 minutes), poetry and photography related to this project for online publication. This is an excellent opportunity for photography/media students to have their work published by NNEWH and to build their portfolios.
The Gender & Ecology Papers is a refereed paper series that is produced by the National Network for Environments and Women`s Health at York University. The series will be published 3 times a year during the Winter, Summer and Fall semesters and each issue will be available to be downloaded free from our website in PDF format.
Please see below for further submission requirements.

Gender, Food and Agriculture
The Gender & Ecology Papers series is seeking submissions for its Winter 2009 issue on Gender, Food and Agriculture, which will feature academic works that contribute various data, analysis and perspectives on subjects related to farming and food using a gendered lens. In recent years, both academic and public concern has grown over issues related to agricultural practice, food safety and human health.

- Pesticides and women`s health
- Developmental/health effects from agricultural chemical exposure
- Gender and reproduction as they relate to agricultural chemicals
- Food additives and men`s health
- Organic food and women`s health
- The reproductive health of male farmers using industrial farming techniques
- Bio-tech/GMO foods and gendered health
Papers on virtually all related topics and themes will be considered, and submissions are encouraged from both undergraduate and graduate contributors. Theoretical and applied works are welcome and should be accessible to a wide range of readership. Paper submissions should be no more than 2500 words (approximately 10 pages). The Gender & Ecology Papers will also accept submissions of visual art (video length 5-10 minutes), poetry and photography for online publication. It is through these multiple forms of expression that we wish to promote creative thought and discourse surrounding this issue`s topic of gender, food and agriculture.
Deadline: Article abstracts are due by January 30th, 2009. Final documents are due by February 28th, 2009. Submissions received byJanuary 30th, 2009 will be considered for our Summer 2009 Issue, which will cover the topic of: Gender, Health and Chemical Consumption.
