H-GENDER-MIDEAST

In January 2002 IGWS launched H-Gender-MidEast, an H-Net affiliated electronic network. H-Net is the world's largest scholarly society dedicated to the free and open application of new media to scholarship, teaching and service in the humanities and social sciences.

The mission of H-Gender-MidEast is to facilitate scholarly exchange on issues of gender in the Middle East, and more recently Africa and South Asia. H-Gender-MidEast is advised by a 2 year rotating advisory board consisting of scholars affiliated with regional women's and gender studies programmes. Click here to subscribe.
