View source for Gender and social economies of dried fish

This page is the gathering place for links and documents related to the [[WG1]] sub-theme on gender and the social economies of dried fish.

Materials from all meetings are [[Gender and social economies of dried fish meeting summaries|here]].

The sub-theme speaks to a long-standing critical area of interest and importance for the participants in DFM. The formalization of the sub-theme crystallized during [[Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries Conference 2022|discussions at the GAF8 conference]] in Cochin in November 2022. The first output of those discussions was a [[Gender in dried fish social economies|list of key words]] compiled by conference participants. The compilation of key words was the basis for the [[Gender and social economies of dried fish meeting summaries|first formal meeting]] of the sub-theme on December 15, 2022. Materials from that meeting are [[Gender and social economies of dried fish meeting summaries|here]]. The requested first preliminary stab at identifying possible key themes for a possible synthesis paper is [[Gender and social economies of dried fish synthesis paper draft key points|here]]. Discussion of exact planned outputs is still ongoing. Some ideas for outputs were discussed at our [[Gender and social economies of dried fish meeting summaries|first meeting]]. 

The [[Gender and social economies of dried fish meeting summaries|second meeting]] on the theme took place on February 23, 2023. The objective of the meeting was to develop further our theoretical focus for the collaboration. Readings for this meeting are indicated in the bibliography below. 

[[Gender and social economies of dried fish meeting summaries|Meeting three]] took place on March 29. The meeting had two parts: 1. continued theoretical discussion based on the readings listed below; 2. planning of next steps and outputs. 

[[Gender and social economies of dried fish meeting summaries|Meeting four]] took place on April 26. The readings for meeting four below are optional, although the Kabeer reading is strongly recommended. Readings from the Knott and Gustavsson special issue are all available in the GAF folder in the DFM Zotero library.  

The format of meeting four was a talk circle, followed by a discussion, where each participants had an opportunity to make a short statement (2 minutes or less) of '''one''' way in which their contribution to, or learning from the project linked to the themes that had been discussed and read about in the gender and social economies of dried fish meetings. Speakers could position their comments in relation to any aspect of their contribution or role in the project that they wished. My (Derek's) view of the purpose of the meeting was threefold: 1. encourage participation of as wide a range of participants in the project as possible; 2. created an opportunity to see commonalities and differences in understanding and experience; 3. served as an opportunity to refine ideas for contributions to an edited collection on gender and dried fish social economies. Through this meeting, following Holly's suggestion, the aim was to better define the core objectives and/or questions that would frame the eventual edited collection.  

Tara had suggested that research teams, working groups, students, and others prepare abstracts to present at meeting four. We decided to defer the preparation of full abstracts until later. Nonetheless, participants were encouraged to begin organizing ideas and analysis of research findings in written form. Doing so would help identify emerging key points of contribution to present at the next meeting.
