Dear  all,

As some of you probably know The Soros Foundation in New York
has recently  set up the "Regional Women's Program" (RWP) whose
aim is to bring together researchers and activists from Central
and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.  Together with
another Soros's project - The Program on Gender and Culture at
Central European University (Budapest) - RWP is about to begin
preparation of "Directory of Gender Studies in Eastern Europe
and 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.

If you want your institution to be included into this Directory
 - please fill out the form below and send it to me (the postal
and electronic address are in the end of this message).

All the best,

Serguei A. Oushakine

=======================

Program on Gender and Culture at Central European University and
Regional Women's Program are preparing for publication

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.
