There will be several panels of interest to FTGS section members at the conference. At the last section meeting, we agreed to establish a women's caucus to address the concerns of women in the discipline in general and in ISA in particular, regardless of their area of scholarship. Anne has asked the ISA Program Chair to set aside a meeting time for this group separate from and not in conflict with the FTGS business meeting. A proposal to expand the caucus from women to all in ISA who feel alienated, marginalized, or excluded because of their sex, sexuality, color, nationality, or scholarship has been made. This proposal will be discussed at the meeting.
Comments are welcome.
We hope to include drafts of any proposed changes to the section constitution in the next newsletter so you will have them in hand before the section meeting in March. Beijing '95 Committee We also hope to include proposals regarding section activity around the UN et al.'s upcoming conference on the status of women in the next newsletter. Thank you all for your generosity. We would like to hold a reception following the panel, but our section funds are low. Your support can make the reception happen.
