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 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 discussions at the GAF8 conference in Cochin in November 2022. The first output of those discussions was a list of key words compiled by conference participants. The compilation of key words was the basis for the first formal meeting of the sub-theme on December 15, 2022. Materials from that meeting are here. The requested first preliminary stab at identifying possible key themes for a possible synthesis paper is here.

The 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.

Meeting three is planned for March 29. Th
