Attracting, Retaining and Advancing Women in IT

Sep 4, 2008 - Sep 4, 2008,
Sydney, New South Wales Australia

The information technology industry has historically been stereotyped as consisting of male-driven and dominated organisations where women continually struggle to obtain opportunities for career advancement and succession. Females are insufficiently represented within all levels of IT positions, particularly in senior and leadership roles.

However, leading organisations within the Australian IT industry are beginning to understand the importance and critical need to address the issues surrounding the barriers that women face in development and progression within technical lines of business. Through implementing a network for women within the organisation, undeniable benefits will be realised not only in enhancing the careers of female professionals, but also in benefiting the organisation’s business processes and bottom-line.

This one-day conference will allow you to hear practical and innovative case studies from leading organisations within the IT industry. You will learn how to implement women’s initiatives to retain a diverse workforce and secure a competitive advantage for your organisation.

The following critical issues will be explored:

* Developing a strategic plan for female career progression
* Exploiting the areas in which females naturally excel
* Integrating flexible work practices and creating a work/life balance
* Constructing a support network and developing mentoring relationships
* Evaluating the attraction model: increasing the entry-level statistic
* Offering feasible solutions and planning for the future

Chasing Eden

Sep 4, 2008 - Sep 5, 2008,
University of Exeter Cornwall, England, United Kingdom

Altough post-1960 modern environmentalism seemed to promise an increased level of political activism in relation to the environment, an awkward tension between policy and politics persisted. An increasingly urbanized, fast-paced global political economy has struggled to appreciate the complexities and different temporal dimensions of ‘nature’s economy’. Moreover, the rise of technocratic, professional government has alienated the necessary ‘mass movement’ from environmental policy, which is deemed the preserve of specialist scientists. Similarly, the historical study of the environment and environmental ideas has become increasingly intellectually urgent, but it has engaged little with political history.

A number of important historical works on the environmental history of various countries, on colonialism and the natural world, and on environmental ideas have appeared. But the history of environmental politics as a popular or electoral phenomenon remains neglected. In part this reflects the failure of environmental history to filter its methods and interests into political history. On the other hand, political historians (especially British) remain largely bound to the study of traditional topics - radicalism, liberalism, conservatism, popular politics – with little appreciation for the role of nature and the environment. This two-day conference seeks to encourage a conversation between historians of politics and historians of science, medicine, and environment on the topic of environmental politics in the modern era (particularly the nineteenth and twentieth centuries).

ISA Research Committee on Poverty, Social Welfare and Social Policy, RC19

Sep 4, 2008 - Sep 6, 2008,
Stockholm University Stockholm Sweden

The RC 19 annual conference draws together leading international scholars in the field of comparative welfare state studies and encompasses a range of disciplines including sociology, social policy and political science. As is our practice, RC 19 conference sessions will be a mix of those that reflect the conference theme and those that bring together commonly-themed papers reporting on the ongoing research projects of RC 19 members.

The theme of the conference is the Future of Social Citizenship: Politics, Institutions and Outcomes. We hope this will encourage a broad set of papers on the current challenges of a rights based approach to social policy. We wish to build on the global perspectives of the 2007 meeting in Florence and warmly invite papers from both the South and the North. The globalisation of the economy with its deregulation of financial markets has tilted the power in favour of capital with important consequences for the politics of the welfare state.
