Hello all- thanks for your submissions. The extended deadline has now passed so I won’t be able to accept any more abstracts. I’ve put together a preliminary draft of the panels (access it under the Programme tab).
All those who submitted abstracts should have received email by now to notify you. Thanks for all the fantastic abstracts submitted. I hope that all those who were unsuccessful with their abstracts will still attend the conference and help to enrich the debates.
Hello all,
I’ve received some emails about extending the abstract deadline. I’m happy to accept abstracts until the end of next week (10 May) although after that I will have to finalise the program. If you are considering sending something in, please do as soon as possible (the sooner they are received, the more likely they are to be accepted).
Thanks!
Hello all! Today is the submission deadline for abstracts- please try to get them emailed to me by this evening (sac525@york.ac.uk)
Thanks to all who’ve submitted so far- they look fantastic! The deadline may be extended slightly for latecomers to submit, but I hope to have responded to all the submissions by the end of the month.
Thanks to the York Annual Fund who have awarded the conference additional funding. Once abstracts are submitted and the program is finalised, I will be able to release precise details about fees and bursaries. Fees for postgrads will be somewhere in the £10-15 range and a few £50 bursaries will be available for presenters travelling within the UK. Thanks very much to the many non-UK or EU presenters who’ve submitted. Unfortunately the conference won’t be able to cover travel costs from these locations, so please try to secure external funding for your travels.
Please check back here in the coming weeks for more details or follow @GenderConfYork
One month left until the deadline for abstracts! Please get them in early if possible. There’s been a great response so far and we’re looking forward to some interesting panels and participants from around the world.

Two bits of news to share:
First, I’m happy to announce the two sponsors for the conference: the University of York Department of Politics and the York Graduate Students Association Community Fund. Thanks very much to these two organisations for their support of the conference.
(Update: Sponsors now include the PSA Special Events Fund and York Annual Fund)
This funding is very exciting and will allow for subsidised postgraduate places for presenters/ attendees at the conference- more details to follow.
Second, the departments of English/ Modern Studies and Sociology at York are co-organizing a conference on Neoliberalism, Crisis, and World-Systems for July 2-3 2013. This is not a postgrad conference, but it will have some postgrad events running alongside and hopefully there will be some collaboration with the Gender, Neoliberalism, and Financial Crisis Conference. Any information on collaboration, reading groups, meetings, etc. will be posted here. Please see the website for more information about attending this July conference:
