The Aberdeen conference is the last in a series of events celebrating 20 years of British scholarship on gender and world politics:

- London School of Economics (25 January 2008) 'Between Past and Future'

- University of Manchester (23 May 2008) 'Violence, Bodies, Selves'

- University of Birmingham (4 July 2008) 'Gender, Governance and Power'

- University of Aberdeen (24/25 October 2008) 'Ending International Feminist Futures?'


The conference will involve both presentations of 'academic papers' and discussion aimed at widening the ways we think about (and potentially address) issues connecting gender and world politics. At the Aberdeen meeting, we plan to create a photographic exhibition of contemporary images of gender and world politics, as well as work with local communities.

Plenary speakers:

Prof. Cynthia Enloe (Wellesley College, Massachusetts)

Prof. Robyn Wiegman (Duke University, North Carolina)
