In this copious edition, we revisit the discussion on contextualizing gender by focusing on the utility of the concept and its use for analysis in the field. This issue updates us on the Gender and Property Rights E-mail Conference and informs us about various publications, workshops, and position announcements of interest to our members. Much discussion has taken place over the network since our last newsletter. We begin with an extensive discussion on the utility of gender that has recently mushroomed into a spirited exchange. It is encouraging to watch the network link queries to research findings across disciplines, institutions, and continents.
