Her talk will be about the transversal connections between European and Asian Gender Studies, and between European Gender Studies, feminist activism, and society at large. |
What is the State of the Art of Gender Studies in your country, region, Europe or beyond Europe? How do we vision future connections for European Gender Studies?
What do we mean with transversal? Which kind of connections will be important for Gender Studies to uphold and develop geographically, thematically and with actors outside academia? How do we foresee intensified links to information and documentation centres as well as to the providers of dissemination of educational and research results to be elaborated? ATGENDER calls for papers on any of these issues for the conference ‘Beyond European Gender Studies – Transversal Connections’.
Please, send an abstract of 150 words to info@atgender.eu before December 15th, 2009.
Self-paying participants with or without a paper, as well as ATHENA working groups, are kindly invited to register at the same address, as soon as possible, however at the latest on January 15th, 2010.
Apart from several panel sessions taking place in the afternoon, ATGENDER will arrange a plenary morning session with key note speakers and responses. The themes of the key note addresses will be the transversal connections between European and Asian Gender Studies, and between European Gender Studies, feminist activism, and society at large. |
