Dear Commission Members
This is the first contact I have had with some of you so I would like to start by saying
thank you to those who nominated and supported me to be Chair of the IGU Commission
on Gender and Geography for the period 2008-2012. I feel honored to be part of what
must surely be one of the most active and productive Commissions of the IGU and would
like to assure you all that I will do my upmost to make the next four years as successful
and exciting as the past years of the Commission’s activities.
Thanks to Tovi Fenster
Before updating you on news and upcoming events I want to say thanks again to
Professor Tovi Fenster – Chair from 2004-2008. During this time we had six meetings
(Barcelona, Hamilton, Brisbane, Zurich, Taipei and Tunis), produced several special
issues in Journals such as Belgeo and Geographica Helvetica and extended further our
networks beyond Anglo-American spaces. This success is due to the dedicated work of
Commission members but also to Tovi’s strong leadership. We all very much appreciate
this.
Congratulations to Ruth Fincher
Professor Ruth Fincher, University of Melbourne, was elected at the IGU Congress in
Tunis, Tunisia as one of seven new Vice-Presidents (VPs) of the IGU. It is still to be
decided which VPs will be responsible for which Commissions. As a past chair of the
Commission on Gender and Geography we are delighted that Ruth has been appointed to
this position and would like to wish her all the best in her new role.

Commission to Meet in Hungary and Romania, May 22-24, 2009
Under the leadership of Judit Timár (Hungarian Academy of Sciences) and Sorina
Voiculescu (University of West Timisoara (Romania) the Commission will sponsor a
conference on Post-Socialism, Neo-Liberalism: Old and New Gendered Socities and
Policies” in Szeged, Hungary and Timisoara, Romania. The conference will be
interdisciplinary with the goal of providing a platform for feminist critical evaluation of
post-socialism and neoliberalism, marking the 20th anniversary of the East Central
European political changes in 1989. It further aims to understand women’s and men’s
everyday experiences and reveal the particular geographies of the gender dimensions of
these models. This meeting marks the first opportunity for the Commission to hold a
1
sustained event in the region since its sessions at the IGU Regional Conference in Prague
in 1992. The conference will include scholarly papers and discussion sessions and the
opportunity for a discussion with members of the Association for the Promotion of
Women in Romania (APoWeR) which was instrumental in developing a proposal that led
to passage of the 2003 Romanian law on domestic violence.
Full details of the themes and call for papers and the registration form were recently
sent to members of the Commission’s mailing list and will be followed up separate
mailings from this newsletter. Further information is also available from Judit Timár
(timarj@rkk.hu) or Sorina Voiculescu (vsorina@cbg.uvt.ro).
The Gender and Geography Commission Activities at the Tunis IGC,
August, 12-15, 2008
The Gender and Geography Commission was very active at the Tunis IGC in terms of the
number of sessions organized and the high level of attendance. We organized six sessions
and were second in terms of the number of sessions (Geographical Education had 12).
The main theme of the Commission's sessions was: Gendered Perspectives: Connecting
Across Difference. The sessions included topics such as: Negotiating Differences in
Urban Spaces; Gendered Experiences of Labor; Gender, Poverty and Policies; Gendered
Mobilities; Multiple Dimensions of Gender Relations. The opening session was devoted
to Gendered Perspectives after 20 Years: Connecting Across Difference, organized in
honor of Janet Momsen's contribution to the field of gender and geography. All sessions
were well attended with many new members joining our listserve. In addition, the
Commission offered a half-day fieldtrip under the leadership of Prof. Lasta Zohra. We
visited two places which represented some of the activities for women in Tunisia. The
first, CREDIF – An Active and Innovative Center for Women's Promotion. This public
institution is under the authority of the Ministry of Women and Family Affairs. We
visited the Center's documentation center and met some of the Center's administrators.
The group then visited women's public housing in Tunis. It consists of three blocks of
apartments designed for young single women who come to study or work in Tunis from
remote areas or the outskirts of Tunis. The buildings are run and maintained by the
Government. We met the managers of the complex and several women who live there
including a lawyer and woman employed in financial services, and also toured one
section of the apartments. I would like to thank Prof. Ali Toumi for his help in organizing
the sessions and the field trip.

IGU Commission on Gender and Geography Collaborates with the
Commission on the Dynamics of Economic Spaces
2
The Gender Commission was pleased to have the collaboration of the IGU Commission
on the Dynamics of Economic Spaces which included two sessions on gender themes in
its recent symposium “The New Worlds of Work: Multiscalar Dynamics of New
Economic Spaces” held in Barcelona, August 5-8, 2008. Maria Dolors Garcia Ramon
and Toni Tulla served as representative of the Gender Commission planning the
program. Eight gender papers were presented by participants from India, Japan, the
Philippines, Spain, the United Kingdom and the US. Themes ranged from international
labour migration of single Japanese women to the enterprising spirit of UK business
women and the “gendered” homes in the global fishing industry of India. Richard
LeHeron, Chair of the Commission on the Dynamics of Economic Spaces commented
that he found the gender papers “contributed hugely to the intellectual stimulation and
work of the conference.” We look forward to future collaborations with other
Commissions.

Housing Policy and Women’s Strategies in La Pintana (Chile). The study is based on
interviews with individuals working in “urban” professions as well as with residents of
social housing in a working-class neighborhood in Santiago, highlighting the importance
of including potential residents targeted by policies.
Five sessions on gender were organized by the Women and Geography Study Group at
the August conference of the Royal Geographical Society/Institute of British
Geographers. Themes included issues of care, materialities of gender and place,
theorizing life transitions, gender relations and economic migrations, and a session on
postgraduate students’ research.

and in December, Elena dell’Agnese (Italy) will lecture at the Autonomous University of
Barcelona.
Alison Blunt (Queen Mary University,UK) reports a new website,
http://www.gendersite.org, is a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary database of
bibliographic references, policy documents, and web resources relating to issues around
gender and the built environment. Standing alongside it are a series of case studies
4
highlighting those issues and relating directly to references included in the database. The
aim is to continue updating and expanding the resource.. The project was developed as
part of a program designed to gather together existing academic research across the social
sciences, gender studies, architecture and planning, and make it readily accessible, in one
location, to practitioners and professionals working in the field of the built environment.
For academics and students it will also provide a valuable resource for teaching and
further research, raising awareness of the work that has already been done within
different disciplines, and pointing the way forward for new work to be done in the future.
Thanks to Anindita Datta (Department of Geography, Delhi School of Economics,
India) who has greatly expanded the Commission’s connections to geographers working
on gender in India.
Congratulations to Irén Kukorelli Szörényine who has been appointed to the prestigious
