Based on studies presented at the 6th Interdisciplinary
Conference on Conflict, Gender, and Violence in Vienna, this volume
contributes to the field of interdisciplinary gender research and
provides useful information for those working on sexual harassment
and other issues. The broad-based collaboration of contributors
reflects an equally wide range of theoretical underpinnings and
methodological choices with a three-fold goal: first, to provide
unique opportunities to network across disciplines and redirect
established ways of thinking; second, to examine the "added value"
of work generated within European cultural contexts and disseminate
it to an international audience; and finally, to stimulate
innovative thinking and serve as a springboard for joint creative
projects that benefit from cross-national or interdisciplinary
research.
Sixteen scholars present the latest research on gender based
abuse, its interpersonal, social and cultural dimensions, and
promising intervention and prevention strategies in "Conflict,
Gender, Violence." Essays include discussions of: "The Austrian
Protection from Violence Act"; Women's Politics in Austria"; Recent
Legal Changes in Romania to Protect Women Against Domestic
Violence"; Women Victims of Domestic Violence: Consequences for
Their Health and the Role of the Health System"; Violence Against
Women/Violence Against Men: Comparisons, Differences,
Controversies"; Childcare, Violence, and Fathering: Are Violent
Fathers who Look After Their Children Likely to Be Less Abusive";
and other relevant issues.
