On September 5, we officially began an electronic conference focused on gender and property rights. We now have 152 participants from 26 different countries. The conference began on September 5 and will run until December 1. Each paper is launched with a set of introductory comments by the author, followed by two sets of discussants' comments.
Discussion is then open to all for three weeks before moving on to the next paper.
We have just finished discussions on the first paper by Susana Lastarria-Cornhiel on gender and land tenure, and commenced discussion on gender and water rights focused on a paper by Margareet Zwarteveen. On October 29, we will move to discussion of a paper by Dianne Rochleau on gender and trees.
