“WOMEN IN MOUNTAINS- CONTINUITY & CHANGE” TWO DAYS NATIONAL SEMINAR 28-29 November, 2013 Dept. of Sociology School of Social Sciences, Uttarakhand Open University Circular Dear Colleague, We are happy to inform you that the Department of Sociology, School of Social Sciences, Uttarakhand Open University is organizing a ICSSR sponsored two days National Seminar on 28-29 November 2013 at Nainital. It gives us pleasure in inviting you to participate in this academic event and share your valuable research findings with other scholars to enrich the existing knowledge in the field of gender studies. The objective of this Seminar is to bring together the scholars who are engaged in higher research and to share their research experiences and outcome with the fraternity. It is aimed that the seminar will contribute to understand the status of women in wider context in the mountains in general and Uttarakhand in particular and explore the possible strategies which can reduce rural poverty and women drudgery in general. The seminar also aims to bring the issues of women on centre stage of development policies in particular in the mountains mountain region as they are the backbone of family economy in these regions. This seminar will provide a platform to discuss the key elements of systems failure in terms of gender constraints, which are based on the socially-constructed and historically developed role of women in patriarchal society. We intend to explore various aspects of sustainable development with a gender perspective, which will illuminate how female contributions can be better realized at present and how strategies can be developed for meeting the needs of future generations. In view of the above, the Department of Sociology, School of Social Sciences, Uttarakhand Open University has proposed a two days National Seminar on the theme Women in Mountains: Continuity and Change. The seminar will have various sessions on following broad themes. 1. Status of Women in Mountain Regions: Current Scenario 2. Empowerment of Women in Mountain Regions: Issues & Challenges 3.
