WiW adds the following:
This exciting conference is about women facing colonialism and occupation and in fact, proposals can cover any situation (i.e. not just Palestine, though though naturally new perspectives are very welcome) even if the CFP is not clear about this. You can interpret this as comprising USSR, Russian/British/Ottoman/French/German/Japanese imperialism, even today’s American politics of invasion/colonialism, and more

Funding is a problem so see if you can get a grant from your institution, even though you will be housed
Languages: English, Arabic
