The conference, which will be held June 8-9, 2001, in Washington, DC, at the Capital Hilton, will address a range of issues related to women's economic, political, health and social status. The conference will bring together policymakers, advocates, researchers, practitioners, business and labor leaders, and others to discuss current research findings and new policy strategies related to women's status. Conference presentations will consider women's progress in the context of a society transformed by the information age, globalization, devolution, immigration, and the changing face of the family. Participants will exchange information and discuss policy directions and mobilization strategies regarding gender equity in the home, the workplace, civil society, educational institutions, government, society and community. Sessions will address issues related to women's poverty and income supports, their employment and earnings, balancing work and family, women's health, race and ethnicity, democratic and civic engagement, and methods for tracking and reporting women's status. These issues will be addressed in both international and domestic contexts. IWPR welcomes paper and poster proposals that focus on policies that affect women and their families, and on the intersections between policymaking and research. We particularly welcome proposals that address issues of race/ethnicity, class, disability status, sexual orientation, and the full life-cycle of women including girlhood, adolescence, adulthood and older age. Proposals are due by December 15, 2000.
