Fwd: European database for expertise on gender and ethnicity


X-Posted from  <[email protected]>
 
My name is Lulu Helder and I'm a staff member at the Centre of
expertise on Gender, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism; GEM.
 
The centre is a division of Utrecht University located in the
Netherlands. We focus on intercultural and gender sensitive education
in a changing, multicultural society.
 
In collaboration with the International Information Centre and
Archives for the Women's Movement (IIAV) we are currently developing a
European database for expertise on gender and ethnicity.
 
Academics, researchers, students and others interested will be able to
search online for educational methods and perspectives that use gender
and ethnicity as categories of analysis within a topic.
 
The database is 'European' in the sense that the course is offered at
an European university or about a European country.
 
If you offer a course in which you analyse gender and ethnicity please
fill in your information at our website http://www.iiav.nl/horizons
and you will be included in the database that we are developing.
 
Or maybe you can recommend us colleagues who have such expertise.
 
The primary objective of the database is to supply information to
those who are interested in implementing theories of gender and
ethnicity in their curriculum and who want to know about the
developments in their field of specialisation.
 
Students can use this information to search for courses relating to
gender and ethnicity among universities. The secondary objective is to
create a platform for experts who already examine the ways in which
ethnicity and gender intersect.
 
Unfortunately, in Europe it is still rare to find expertise regarding
the intersection of gender and ethnicity within a subject. Often one
perspective is compensated for the other and either gender or
ethnicity is being analysed.
 
The network will function as a forum on the internet where those who
expand the horizon of curricula at universities can meet, share
information and interact in discussions.
 
For these reasons I kindly ask that you fill in our entry form so that
we may include your information in our database, thereby increasing
the visibility of your expertise, knowledge and experience.

You can find the entry form by clicking on this link:
http://www.iiav.nl/horizons
Or you visit this website by copying the address into your browser.
 
Please return the form within 3 weeks. I will be happy to answer any
questions you may have. You can e-mail your questions to:
[email protected] 

Thank you very much for your time and effort,
With kind regards,
 
Lulu Helder
