商品簡介
The international conference Gender and Social Transformation: Global, Transnational and Local Realities, held in Beijing in July 2009, was organized by sociologists from the US and China to advance global feminist scholarship. The 14 papers that emerged cover frameworks and methods, gender in global-local connections, transnational migration, and war and peace-building. Among specific topics are strategies of feminist research in a globalized world, gender and labor within the Turkish context of local development in the era of globalization, an intersectional approach to the complexity of social support within the German-Ukrainian transnational space, and feminist organizations in Israel as a case of women's absence in peace-building policies.
