Chères lectrices, chers lecteurs, Nous vous annonçons que l’asbl a décidé d’élargir son répertoire en y incluant toute personne experte dans les questions de genre, académique ou pas. Si vous désirez soumettre votre candidature ou celle de la structure dans laquelle vous travaillez, veuillez-vous référer aux instructions reprises sur notre site. Nous aimerions aussi vous informer de l’existence d’un nouveau safe space en ligne: la plateforme de témoignages SSIRS. Que ce soit pour en lire ou en déposer, cet endroit est fait pour que ne soient pas ignorées les expériences de discriminations basées sur le racisme et le sexisme en milieu académique. And last but not least, on November 13th, Sophia’s Junior Network will be hosting the (Re)Connecting Gender Studies conference. This conference aims to (re)connect PhD students and gender researchers from different theoretical backgrounds, disciplines and research institutions.
First, selected researchers will present their ongoing or recent research and engage with the audience. Then, participants will have the opportunity to meet and connect during our slow networking activity.
>> Info and registration (mandatory) until November 6th via https://bit.ly/3jUk1Wt
>> Location: Mixed event: participants can participate in person (at the VUB, Boulevard de la Plaine 2, 1050 Brussels) or online (via Zoom). Please indicate your preference in the registration form.
Au plaisir de vous (re)voir,
L’équipe de Sophia

(Re)Connecting Gender Studies
On November 13th, Sophia’s Junior Network hosted the (Re)Connecting Gender Studies conference. This conference aimed to (re)connect PhD students and gender researchers across different boundaries: between universities, between universities and other research institutions, between activism and research, between disciplines, and between languages. The programme consisted of two parts. First, selected researchers presented their ongoing or recent research and engaged with the audience. Finally, participants had the opportunity to meet and connect during our slow networking activity, in which we tapped into subjects such as ‘finding common ground’ and ‘bridging differences’. How can we incorporate different strands of gender studies within one strong and connected network, especially in times of gender fatigue and the mobilisations against gender studies? How can we use gender studies to open new paths and critically rethink society (e.g. intersectionality, ecology, slow science)? > Full program here > Location: The conference took place online via Zoom > Flyer (pdf) This event was co-organized by RHEA and Sophia. Sophia, the Belgian Gender Studies Network, is funded by the Institute for the equality of women and men. Sophia's Junior Network brings together early-career academics who are affiliated to a Belgian university and who are interested in or focused on feminist research and gender studies. The network aims to promote and strengthen research by creating a platform that brings together members of the academic world, activist groups and public institutions.
