Women's Worlds 2011 Launches Website www.womensworlds.ca
โInclusions, Exclusions, and Seclusions: Living in a Globalized Worldโ is the theme of the international and interdisciplinary gathering of and about women to be held in Ottawa-Gatineau, Canada from July 3-7, 2011.
The event will convene a diversity of minds and experiences to delve into some of the most pressing issues of our time. Outreach is underway to draw a rich cross-section of people from around the world into the conversation โ from academics to activists and researchers to policy-makers.
In the lead-up to the gathering, the website will serve as a hub where people from around the world can connect and converse on issues related to globalization and womenโs equality, and more. To stoke that conversation, organizers will roll out a range of interactive components and unveil content and registration information as it becomes available. Site visitors are encouraged to sign up for e-bulletins to receive up-to-the-minute information about website content and the conference.
This online portal is part of a broader new media strategy that organizers hope will attract unlikely participants to the conference and related discussions, a key conference objective being to encourage intergenerational exchange.
WW 2011 organizers also plan on using social media like facebook, flickr, youtube, and twitter to stimulate connections and conversations.
Ottawa-Gatineau plays host to this 11th edition of Womenโs Worlds โ a triennial global womenโs conference most recently held in Madrid in 2008 and Seoul in 2005 โ with the University of Ottawa and Carleton University partnering as lead coordinators.
