Please share widely, thank you. *Call For Papers: Gendered Perspectives on International Development (GPID) Working Papers* http://gencen.isp.msu.edu/publications/call.htm Michigan State University invites the submission of article-length manuscripts (6,000 - 9,000 words) for peer review and publication in our *Gendered Perspectives on International Development (GPID)* Working Papers series. We seek materials at a late stage of formulation that contribute new understandings of women and men’s roles and relations amidst social, economic, and political change in the developing world. The goals of *GPID* are: (1) to promote research that contributes to gendered analysis of social change; (2) to highlight the effects of international development policy and globalization on gender roles and gender relations; and (3) to encourage new approaches to international development policy and programming. *GPID* cross-cuts disciplines, bringing together research, critical analyses, and proposals for change. Individual papers in the series address a range of topics, such as gender, violence, and human rights; gender and agriculture; reproductive health and healthcare; gender and social movements; masculinities and development; and the gendered division of labor. We particularly encourage manuscripts that bridge the gap between research, policy, and practice. Accepted papers are individually printed for distribution as well as published online. We are an open access publication, and previously published papers can be viewed at: http://gencen.isp.msu.edu/publications/papers.htm. You can also follow us on Twitter where we will periodically release CFPs and promote recent publications: https://twitter.com/GPIDPapers. If you are interested in submitting a manuscript to the series, please send a 150 word abstract summarizing the paper’s essential points and findings to Dr. Anne Ferguson, Editor, or David Baylis, Managing Editor, at [log in to unmask] If the abstract suggests your paper is suitable for the GPID Working Papers, the full paper will be invited for peer review and publication consideration. *Recent Working Papers (download PDFs free of charge on our website):* *Working Paper #303 **Gender, Power, and Traumatic Stress in a Q’eqchi’ Refugee Community in Mexico* <http://gencen.isp.msu.edu/documents/Working_Papers/WP303.pdf> *By Faith R. Warner* *http://gencen.isp.msu.edu/documents/Working_Papers/WP303.pdf* <http://gencen.isp.msu.edu/documents/Working_Papers/WP303.pdf> *Abstract*: This paper presents ethnographic research on the relationship between gender differences in the expression of traumatic stress and emic constructions of social power relating to the humoral categories hot (q’ix) and cold (ke) in a Q’eqchi’ refugee community in Campeche, Mexico. Women disproportionately experienced four gender-specific forms of stress relative to men while residing in the refugee camp, including marginalization from decision-making, a reduction in subsistence activities, restricted mobility, and pressure to maintain traditional culture. My analysis suggests that cultural, political, economic, and material conditions of life in the refugee camp, in combination with underlying traditional gender roles and ideologies, are the primary factors contributing to Q’eqchi’ women’s suffering and delayed recovery from trauma of repression, war, and displacement. I argue that maintaining and manipulating traditional gender roles can also be a means of empowerment for women seeking acculturative opportunities in a restrictive cultural milieu.
