The ECPR Standing Group on Gender and Politics invites panel and paper proposals for the First European Conference on Politics and Gender (ECPG). The conference aims to bring together
scholars engaged in cutting-edge research on a wide range of topics related to gender and politics. Scholars from member and non-member institutions of the ECPR are welcome to apply.

The program will include a keynote address given by Judith Squires from the University of Bristol, as
well as a roundtable on current European Union-funded gender and politics projects.

Proposals should be sent by email to the conference secretary Jemima Repo jemima.repo@helsinki.fi . Acceptance of papers and panels will be confirmed by 1 September 2008. Proposals for individual papers should include the name, affiliation, and contact details for all paper authors, a 200-word abstract and paper title, as well as indicate which section the paper is for.
