1:30 p.m.          Talk in HH 373

ENGENDERING HEALTH BY GENDERING HOME:  Experiences
of Young Women involved in Migrant Sex Work in the eastern Caribbean

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in the eastern Caribbean, this 
presentation explores the ways in which young women involved in 
cross-border sex work and systems of trafficking discuss and prioritize the
health conditions that they face through their work and travel.  Particular
emphasis is placed on how spontaneous enactments of "home" amidst 
constant uprootedness give rise to a collective dialogue about health 
and health care behaviours.

4 p.m.              Informal meeting with students from Women's Studies 
and Anthropology.
                        (PAS 4288)

The Anthropology Department would really appreciate it if you are able 
to attend the informal meeting with Prof. Downe at 4 p.m. in PAS 4288.

Many thanks,
Allyson
