The day began with speed networking to provide an opportunity for informal networking. This proved to be a very good icebreaker and the volume of many simultaneous and enthusiastic conversations was at times deafening! We then had a coffee break before regrouping to hear several centre members talk briefly about their research interests. During the course of the morning it became clear that there is a lot of overlap in the work people are doing and in their research interests and that it would be fruitful to develop closer collaboration. A brief summary of the discussion follows. Annie Phizacklea (Sociology) is intending to organise a workshop on migration in spring 2006 ESRC funding permitting. This will explore the gendering of migration and look at skilled and unskilled workers, professional migrants and how their experiences differ from others, and how womens and mens experiences differ. During discussion attention was drawn to the importance of looking at those who are fleeing violence, including domestic violence, and at children and migration on which there is very little research. Several of those present have interests in these issues. Event: Workshop on Migration to be organised by Annie. Carol Wolkowitz (Sociology) is hoping to organise a conference on the body. She will invite people like Julia Twigg who has done research on care work and the body and will include those who have done work on things such as hairdressing. She wants to invite named people and explore theories of the body and migration. She may seek ESRC funding for this. During discussion it was suggested that the question of migration and care work and caring for aged parents might be a fruitful avenue of enquiry as several members of the centre have interests in this, either intellectual or practical or both. Event: Conference on the body to be organised by Carol. Deborah Dean (TV School) talked about her interest in women as performers and workers in theatre and TV. Shes interested in the way disadvantage is gendered and relates to embodiment and in the aesthetic labour of women performers. Apparently raising the issue of gender and its impact on the research process is still problematic within the TV School. Catherine Hoskyns (Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation - CSGR) spoke about her position as a visiting fellow with a remit to bring gender in. She is interested in policy making at EU level in relation to gender and how gender never gets into the main areas of activity such as economics, finance etc. She is looking at how resistance to gender manifests itself. She is also working with Shirin Rai (Politics) at the gendering of international political economy. Patricia Hewitt still has contacts with activists and shes trying to press for less neo-liberalism in trade but the big guns are being brought out to constrain her. Event: There is to be a workshop funded by the CSGR on Gender and Trade and participants are needed. Anyone interested contact Catherine. Miranda Alison (Politics) spoke about her research interests in women combatants and ethno-nationalist conflicts. She is also interested in sexual violence in the context of conflict and masculinities and international politics. She has researched women combatants in Northern Ireland and Sri Lanka and focuses on non-state rather than state military. Shes not looking at issues such as Abhu Graib and the torture of women prisoners. Zaitun Kituyi (Sociology graduate student) is looking at how conflict is managed in Uganda, the gendering of conflict, and how to bring about a sustainable peace. She was teaching in Uganda and is now exploring inter-communal conflict. Uganda has been at war since 1962 and no efforts have been made to bring about a sustainable peace/ reconciliation. Shes not only looking at women but also at men and how women and men can work together to bring about a sustainable peace. During discussion Inges website (see below) was mentioned. Chris Harrison (SWELL - Centre for the Study of Safety and Wellbeing) spoke about the work of SWELL. It promotes links between research and practice and is interested in enabling research to influence practice. Areas of particular interest are domestic violence and its impact on women and children; teenage pregnancy; school-based interventions to counteract domestic violence; work with perpetrators for Coventry domestic violence partnership. It is very policy and practice orientated. During discussion the connections with Zaituns research on developing a strategy for promoting sustainable peace in Uganda were stressed. Attention was also drawn to the images of violence against women on the internet. Hannah Bradby (Sociology) is organising a conference in honour of Meg Stacey in early July. Meg Stacey was the first woman professor at TV and she set up the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender. She was Emeritus Professor until her death last year. Hannahs interests are in health and ethnicity and she spoke about the way white, female professionals misunderstand gender roles within Asian families. Her research on minority ethnic families reflects back on majority ethnic culture. She raised as a problem how to tell women professionals about their feminist imperialism. Ann Adams (Medical School) spoke about her research on the micro-level of doctor-patient interaction. Her particular area of interest is depression and mental illness. She is finding that women doctors are different with male and female patients. Perhaps this could relate to their fears (or the reality) that male patients do not regard women doctors as competent. Maria da Costa (Early Childhood Studies) is trying to introduce an interdisciplinary orientation into early childhood studies. She is interested in families and parenting and spoke about her involvement in the global family project. She is looking at parenting in the context of increasing globalisation and at families who travel from one country to another. Her interest is in highly-skilled migrants, this links in to Annies interests in migration. Cecily Wright (Sociology) is currently working on how to integrate the study of childhood into the history of slavery. She wants to recover the history of children in slavery in the Caribbean. There is little textual evidence of childrens experiences compared with what is available on women and men. She wants to fit this into childhood studies and to try and get funding for her research. Shes putting together an edited collection. During discussion it was suggested that she could also look at current trafficking of children within this framework. It was also pointed out that there is little research that focuses specifically on children and how the changing conception of childhood means that 150 years ago children were not regarded as children. We are not very good at getting at childrens voices. This raises the whole issue of researching children and gender. Cath Lambert (Sociology) spoke about her interests in how younger people speak about feminism and how we do feminism in post-feminist times. She talked a bit about WASS TV Association of Students against Sexism briefly then handed over to Sam Lyle (graduate student) who told us about the society and how it had been set up. As an undergraduate she had studied politics and international studies with gender and had been horrified at how little gender was integrated into undergraduate teaching. She was instrumental in setting up WASS, it has 50 members, an equal number of women and men, and part of what it is doing is looking at whether gender is integrated into the curriculum. They would be interested in investigating the TV School. She talked about the homophobic assumptions that people make about you if you declare yourself to be feminist. Inges website. Inge Sniukaite is a research student in the Sociology Department and as part of her research has set up a website on Women and War. Details are provided here and she would be glad of an internet visit from those who are interested The discussion will start on the 1st of June and will take place on the CEE Online Womens Forum at  HYPERLINK "http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/sociology/research/ceeforum/" http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/sociology/research/ceeforum/ Everyone enjoyed the event which we hope is the first of many.
