Call for papers: Gender and education

INEE announces the Dr Jacqueline Kirk commemorative competition and invites papers and case studies. The theme chosen is: Gender equality in and through education in emergencies, chronic crisis and early recovery. Deadline for submitting entries is November 13, 2009.

This month marks the first anniversary of the death of Dr. Jacqueline (Jackie) Kirk, who was tragically killed with her colleagues Mohammad Aimal, Shirley Case and Nicole Dial in August 2008 while working for the International Rescue Committee in Afghanistan.

Jackie Kirk was an extremely active member of Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) and a passionate advocate for quality education in emergencies. Jackie founded and convened the INEE Gender Task Team.

To commemorate the pioneering work Jackie led on gender and education in emergencies, INEE is launching a Commemorative Competition to encourage continued research and good practice in this critical area of work.

Not only do girls and boys, women and men, experience conflict and natural disasters differently, but these crises contexts can also provide opportunities for systemic change that can increase gender equity within communities and national systems as they recover and rebuild.

To ensure that access to quality and safe education in emergencies for girls and boys, young women and men was safeguarded, and that opportunities to improve gender equality in and through education in crisis contexts were leveraged to further our collective efforts towards education for all.

This commemorative competition seeks to identify academic papers and practitioner-authored case studies that document innovative gender-responsive research, policy or practice in the field of education in emergencies.

Authors can submit work in one of two formats:

  • An academic paper which examines an issue related to gender and education in emergencies. Academic papers should be no longer that 15 pages, and include a bibliography or reference list.
  • A case study that documents an innovative programme or policy related to gender and education in emergencies.

Award:

The winning paper and case study will be honoured with a small cash prize of $500 each.

Deadline:

Last date for submitting entries is November 13, 2009. Winning entries will be announced in early 2010.

Please submit any queries, and your completed entries to: robert@ineesite.org.
