Gendering Globalization in Asia through Miracle and Crisis

This article argues that the processes ofglobalization, Asian growth, and Asian crisis are gendered. It begins with a briefreview of globalization before tracing its impact on women in Asia. It then interrogates the mobilization of particular constructions of masculinity and femininity to ensure the business of state making and global capital, and the symbolic uses of gender in reconstructing national and interstate identity politics. It concludes with attention to feminist sites, and sightings, in these new global times.

Towards a (personal) politics of location

This paper reviews my work in anti‐racist and anti‐sexist programs, crossing the conventional boundaries between Aboriginal Studies, Multicultural Studies and Womens Studies to develop understandings and strategies for change. I look especially at teacher in‐service, staff development and departmental training programs in these areas. I use the notion of a politics of location as a way of exploring how each of us is positioned in terms of the problems or programs at hand. In the process, describe some of the challenges and responses that have marked my learning about educating for change.
