A Tulane University tem o prazer de anunciar que será a anfitrã do BRASA IX em New Orleans, Louisiana, uma cidade americana de uma beleza singular, famosa por sua rica tradição latina e afro. Atualmente, New Orleans está vivenciando uma espécie de renascimento depois do furacão Katrina que inundou uma boa parte da cidade. A maior parte dos patrimônios históricos, como o French Quarter, os bairros históricos 'creole' como Tremé e Marigny, o Garden District, Uptown, e a Universidade de Tulane sofreram poucos danos e já foram restaurados. A sua riquíssima vida musical retornou e os restaurantes famosos foram reabertos.

X Congreso Internacional Interdisciplinar sobre las Mujeres
Nuevas Fronteras: Avances y Desafios
2 a 9 de julio de 2008
Universidad Complutense, Madrid, España

Mundos de Mujeres/Women's Worlds 2008 está abierto a propuestas sobre TODOS los temas relacionados con las mujeres, género y sexualidad en el mundo contemporáneo y en la historia de nuestras culturas. Reservaremos un lugar central a dos grandes temas: las migraciones y la violencia, analizados desde una amplia gama de perspectivas y áreas de conocimiento. No obstante, de ningún modo estos dos temas serán exclusivos. Queremos insistir en que el Comité Científico de MMWW08 tomará en consideración propuestas de TODAS las áreas de conocimiento y perspectivas de trabajo.

Nuevas Fronteras: Avances y Desafíos
Los conceptos de nuevas fronteras, avances y desafíos que dan título al tema general de nuestro congreso, pretenden abarcar una amplia gama de cuestiones que atañen particularmente a las mujeres. Por un lado, en nuestro congreso se tratarán los desplazamientos físicos, es decir, fenómenos como la inmigración y las consecuencias de las guerras, el tráfico ilegal de personas, etc.; se examinará cómo afectan estas realidades a las mujeres en particular, a diferentes grupos étnicos, etc.; se estudiarán otras cuestiones del mundo contemporáneo como las redes de prostitución, la explotación laboral de las inmigrantes, la anorexia y la bulimia, la violencia de género, el racismo-machismo, la transculturalidad e intra-culturalidad, la homofobia, etc. Por otro lado, el tema general de MMWW08 también abarca todo aquello que puede clasificarse como desplazamientos imaginarios o conceptuales. Es decir, "fronteras" visibles o invisibles; fenómenos de evasión, o mecanismos imaginarios de supervivencia que utilizan las mujeres; las revoluciones científicas y tecnológicas del siglo XXI y el refuerzo de los vínculos del feminismo mundial; los cambios que las nuevas generaciones manifiestan en la concepción del mundo; modificaciones estructurales en las dinámicas sociales entre los sexos; nuevas alianzas y avenidas de estudio y de lucha por la justicia social; nuevos parámetros y propuestas teóricas; etc.
En suma: MMWW 08 será la sede de un examen exhaustivo, optimista y constructivo de los grandes temas y problemas que afectan a las mujeres de hoy en día.

The Eighth Annual
Diversity Challenge 2008: Race, Culture, and Trauma
October, 3-4, 2008
Boston College

Proposal Submission Deadline: April 21, 2008

The Institute for the Study and Promotion of Race and Culture at Boston College invites you to join us for the Institute's eighth annual national conference in Boston, a city known for its struggles and efforts to address issues of racial and ethnic cultural diversity in U.S. society. The Institute was founded in 2000 at Boston College, under the direction of Dr. Janet E. Helms, to promote the assets and address the societal conflicts associated with race and culture in theory and research, mental health practice, education, business, and society at large. The Institute solicits, designs, and distributes effective interventions with a proactive, practical focus. Each year the Institute addresses a racial or cultural issue that could benefit from a pragmatic, scholarly, or grassroots focus through its Diversity Challenge conference. The theme of Diversity Challenge 2008 is the examination of the intersections among race, culture, and trauma across the lifespan.

Areas of Emphasis:
Mental Health
Treatment
Assessment
Service Delivery
Education
Community Programs
Policy
Advocacy
Training

Traumatic and extremely stressful life events contribute to disruptive emotional changes in individuals' mental states and their overall quality of life (Foa, 1997). It is estimated that 14% of individuals in the U.S., at some time in their lives, develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a condition that develops after experiencing or witnessing a particularly threatening, tragic, or dangerous event (Kessler, Sonnega, Bromet, Hughes, & Nelson, 1995). Approximately another 25% of individuals experience significant emotional and interpersonal difficulties after a traumatic event. Missing from the estimates are the roles that race and culture serve in increasing or decreasing potentially disruptive emotional experiences. Mental health professionals and social service agencies have begun to focus attention on racist events and cultural discrimination as types of traumatic events that can be as psychologically debilitating as natural disasters or physical abuse. Psychologists, social workers, and mental health researchers have called for improved conceptualizations of the traumatic effects of incidents of discrimination based on race or ethnicity and mental health interventions with racial or cultural trauma as a focus.
Also, race and culture may have significant effects on the experience of stressful life events as they are typically conceptualized. Trauma scientists and practitioners often study and treat trauma without considering the interactions of culture and race on the experiences of trauma victims. For example, the ongoing mental health concerns of People of Color, displaced from one community to another following Hurricane Katrina, illustrate the importance of addressing culture and race in service delivery. In the July 2005 edition of The Counseling Psychologist, several articles explicitly discussed and defined racist events (both overt and covert), and made cogent proposals for advancing the field toward incorporating race-based trauma into mental health service delivery and research. The focus of this year's Diversity Challenge is addressing the intersections among race, culture, and trauma in a variety of domains and by means of a variety of interventions and research inquiries. We envision an interdisciplinary forum in which a variety of perspectives are explored and scientists, practitioners, and social activists can interact with each other with respect to this important theme. Proposals are welcome from researchers, practitioners, educators, community organizations, advocacy and activist groups, medical service providers, employee assistance personnel, government agencies, spiritual healers, and providers of community services. Work groups focused on racial or cultural micro aggressions are encouraged. Critical perspectives and creative ideas concerning the role of race and culture and trauma in the lives of individuals are welcome.

Suggestions for Proposals
We invite proposals that reflect some aspect of your experiences in treating, teaching, studying, or intervening to understand how race and culture influence the lives of individuals. Although the proposals may focus on any aspect of trauma, all proposals should demonstrate a clear integration of race and culture. Presentations should focus on community activities and activism, developments in research, professional practice, education, and/or social justice initiatives as they pertain to race, culture, and trauma. Topics may include, but are not limited to, applications of theory, community and school initiatives, activism, as well as current research and practice related to (a) understanding the trauma pertaining to race and culture of diverse racial and ethnic cultural age groups in the United States, (b) improving the quality of life for children, adolescents, and families who have been exposed to traumatic events, (c) community and grassroots initiatives pertaining to addressing the impact of trauma and violence, and (d) implementing and evaluating innovative and culturally competent interventions in traditional and nontraditional environments. Strongest consideration will be given to proposals that deal directly with the 2008 Diversity Challenge theme, the examination of the intersections among race, culture, and trauma across the lifespan.

4 th World Congress of Rural Women
23 to 26 April 2007
International Convention Centre
Durban , KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

The congress will be preceded by an African Consultation of Rural Women that will be held at the same venue from 19 to 21 April, 2007. Similarly, other regions are encouraged to hold regional consultations prior to the congress.
The World Congress of Rural Women is an international gathering of rural women, which occurs at four-year intervals. The congress has been hosted previously by Australia in 1994, the USA in 1998 and Spain in 2002. The hosting of the Fourth World Congress of Rural Women by Africa was informed by the resolutions of the 2002 Congress held in Spain, when Ms Graca Machel received a ceremonial bowl, marking acceptance for South Africa to host the Fourth World Congress on behalf of Africa.
The aim of the congress is to discuss universal and wide-ranging issues confronting rural women today and to share concrete experiences of successes in addressing these worldwide. These include: globalisation; trade; sustainable development (social, economic and environment); gender equality; food security and related issues of access to land, water, finance, new technologies, transport and roads; rural housing, women's health, governance and the impact of public policies on rural women.
Since its inception, discussions in these fora have provided a global perspective on issues confronting women in the world's rural areas. The theme of this upcoming congress is United in our diversity: Working together towards the total emancipation of rural women from poverty and hunger.
About 2 000 local and international delegates are expected to participate in the congress. Delegates will be drawn from rural women themselves, government, civil society, international and intergovernmental organisations, nongovernmental organisations and community-based organisations.
In South Africa, representation will be organised under the umbrella body f Women in Agriculture and Rural Development (WARD), which was launched on 15 October 2006. In addition, other rural women formations from all sectors will participate.

Siglos de opresión y dependencia, de fragmentación en países y sociedades concebidas sobre modelos ajenos, de desigualdad y exclusión, han configurado un marco subjetivo, un "sentido común" que dificulta emprender caminos verdaderamente propios a la hora de construir sociedades más democráticas, inclusivas y justas.

World Congress of Panafricans -
Towards A Global Agenda
Dakar, Senegal, West Africa
December 27 to 31, 2007

Africa is the richest continent of the World by its shear wealth of natural and material resources yet her people are impoverished because of the structural imposition of institutions undermining collective empowerment and of governing systems maintaining the underdevelopment of the continent.

At every level of African society, the pathologies of several centuries of subjugation and the brutality of unwavering sclerosis of slavery in its multiple forms extending through colonial and neo-colonial rules demand that for once, a new generation of African men and women aspire for true change. This means, that there must be fundamentally a new posture by African men and women who have decided to take control of their destiny with concrete actions to influence the Global African World.  

Africa is the cradle of the human civilization, and Africans are not to defend their humanity because it is from them that are spawned all people on this planet Earth. It is time Africans shed their inferior complexes and remove themselves from the tutelage of groups of people who have historically enslaved them.

At this critical juncture of the existence of African people caught at home and abroad in unending cycles of ethnic conflicts, wars, epidemics of diseases, environmental devastation, economic recession and the degradation of societal values, the World Congress of Panafricans to be held in Senegal is convened to set-up according to its theme, the Global Agenda.

African descendants in the panafrican movement are invited to this gathering so as to connect their local, national and international activities to our global objectives. Leaders of every community will find this international platform to inform and share of their experiences across the World. Their messages will be broadcasted in real time across the global African world.

Let a generation of African men and women rise to reverse the fate of African people in a paradigm proper to our humanity and morality. From now on every seminar, every conference across the world will lead us to the World Congress of Panafricans in Senegal.
.
The deadline for registration is October 25, 2007 payable through one of two options. There will be no extension of the deadline.

A special registration fee of $100 per participants of North/South America/Caribbean/Africa; £47 UK and British Isles; € 80 for Europe until December 31, 2006. This includes free transportation from airport to the hotel (s); from hotel (s) to the conference as well as pick-up and drop-off points to excursions following conference.

* At the end of the conference, a general communiqué to be distributed to local, national and the international media will be made available to each participant.
