1) EWIC Scholars Database:
The EWIC project is pleased to announce that the International
Development Research Center (IDRC) awarded EWIC a grant in 2005
to update and expand its EWIC Scholars Database for on-line publication.
The EWIC Scholars Database is available on Dr. Suad Joseph's website,
http://sjoseph.ucdavis.edu/ewic/.
It is searchable by author, countries/regions, and topical areas
of expertise. EWIC continues to solicit authors and compile the
names, coordinates, and areas of research expertise of possible
experts on women and Islamic cultures for the online edition of
EWIC. If your research and expertise is relevant to women and Islamic
cultures and you are interested in being included in the EWIC Scholars
Database, please fill out the contributor
template. The publication of the EWIC Scholars Database
is offered as a service to the international community of scholars
and practitioners to facilitate information dissemination, networking,
and knowledge building.
2) Arabic Translation of Volume I: Methodologies, Paradigms and
Sources
The EWIC project is pleased to announce the publication of the
Arabic translation of Volume I: Methodologies, Sources and Paradigms.
We are fortunate to have this translation project funded by the
Swedish Institute of Alexandria and the Ford Foundation. The Women
and Memory Forum of Cairo University undertook the translation under
the supervision of Dr. Hala Kamal. To download the Arabic translation
of Volume I, please click on this link http://sjoseph.ucdavis.edu.
Please be aware that due to the large size of the file, there will
be a substantial wait for the download. The goal of the translation
into Arabic and the free on-line publication is to make the resource-filled
EWIC Volume I available to a broad audience for educational, research,
and applied purposes.
