Agenda Journal on New Technologies - Biopolitics. This journal will be the first part of a trilogy on New Technologies (part two – reproductive rights and HIV/AIDS; part three – intellectual property rights), to be published in September 2007. Proposed contributions should cover one or more of the following key areas from a women’s rights or feminist perspective:

This journal will look at the exploitation of the environment and its people, particularly women, as well as the resulting, increasing inequalities and social injustice. Writers should investigate the ‘power politics’ of governments and industry that undermine people’s (women’s) basic rights to be healthy and have access to (natural) resources, e.g. food and water.

In the journal, we would like to investigate how GM food impacts on women’s bodies and how it influences and distorts our concepts of poverty. One of the results of GM on farming is, for example, that farmers are forced to (re)purchase patented, modified seeds, which results in loss of seed security (while seed storage has been traditionally women’s responsibility).

Abstracts and contributions must be written in English language and a style accessible to a wide audience. Please submit abstracts to [email][email protected] by 27th April 2007. For more information contact: [email][email protected]
