The Nordic Network Gender, Body, Health is based at the Centre for Gender
Research at Uppsala University, Sweden and had its first network meeting
in January 2008. With the aim of achieving productive interdisciplinary
work on issues concerning gender, body, and health, the network gathers

medicine, comparative literature, philosophy, sociology, anthropology,
cultural geography, sports- and health sciences, psychiatry, social
psychology, and history of science.

We now invite submissions for the fifth meeting with the network Gender,
Body, Health, an international conference under the theme “Bodies in
Crisis”. The conference will take place on November 2-4, 2011 at the
University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland in conjunction with the 20th
Anniversary Conference of RIKK – The Center for Women’s and Gender
Research at the University of Iceland.

We welcome submissions for papers, panels, and mini-workshops approaching
issues within the overarching theme from a broad range of disciplines and
fields of research.
