‘Earthscan Reader on Gender and Forests’ to officially launch at IUFRO 2017
At the 125th Anniversary Congress of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), Bimbika Sijapati Basnett (CIFOR/FTA) and Marlène Elias (Bioversity/FTA) will officially launch The Earthscan Reader on Gender and Forests on Thursday 21 September from 12:30-13:15 at Room KG I-1015.
The reader was edited by Carol J. Pierce Colfer, Marlène Elias, Bimbika Sijapati Basnett and Susan Stevens Hummel.
¨The reader gives an overview of a collection of key articles on gender and forests published over the last 30 years. This way, the collection makes it possible to easily access excellent forestry-relevant social science within an overarching gender analytical framework and demonstrates the leading debates in the field,” says Marlène Elias.
The IUFRO Conference will be held from 18-22 September with a total of 2,100 researchers, practitioners and policymakers present.
