Gender equality and the knowledge society. International conference on 'Gender Equity Policies - New Scenarios, Actors and Articulations'

Anita Gurumurthy's presentation at the conference on 'Gender Equity Policies - New Scenarios, Actors and Articulations' (Buenos Aires, Argentina, November 2010) asked epistemological questions about gender equity policies through the lens of the knowledge society, considering issues of production/reproduction, public/private and global/local.

The presentation concluded with a new theory and praxis of global justice. The general aim of the Conference was to provide an environment for brainstorming of innovative approaches. The goal was to encourage a comprehensive, in-depth exploration of gender-equity and gender-parity policies and institutions in light of challenges and opportunities both for today and the future.
