The School of Continuing Education, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada, has brought out a video film on Gender, Globalization and the Fisheries. We reproduce the blurb… In May 2000 an extraordinary group of women came together in Newfoundland, Canada. They were researchers from universities and non-governmental organizations around the world, and women fishworkers from Atlantic Canada.
Rising from the Ashes is a one-hour video documentary resulting from this meeting. Women from 18 countries discuss vital fishery issues from the perspective of gender and globalization. They share observations related to gender relations and aquaculture development, fish marketing, fisheries and tourism, and fisheries management. Questions related to the conduct and purpose of fisheries research are raised.
Rising from the Ashes is recommended for all those interested in the fishery: harvesters and processors and their service organizations; community groups; unions; policy-makers in government; researchers in universities and non-governmental organizations; and students from a variety of courses such as resource management, women’s studies, sociology and political science. Copies of the film can be ordered from the School of Continuing Education, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. E-mail: fholling@mun.ca
