Although we have only recently completed the successful and stimulating meetings of the Commission in Japan, it is already time to begin preparing for Poland in 2014!
Please see the attached message from the organizers and also contact the Gender Commission Chair, Shirlena Huang (geos...@nus.edu.sg) if you are interested in organizing or participating. There will be the opportunity in Krakow and the Commission is also exploring holding its own eeting prior to the main Congress, possibly in Warsaw.
