Nieuwsbrief juni
|
Laatste kans om jouw voorstel voor het colloquium (Re)Connecting Gender Studies in te zenden! Meer informatie in de call for participation hieronder. Tijdens de zomermaanden zal je geen nieuwsbrief van Sophia ontvangen, maar via de Facebookpagina houden we je op de hoogte van nieuws en evenementen rond genderstudies! We maken gebruik van de gelegenheid om onze Gids Genderstudies verder te updaten en hierbij ook niet-universitaire actoren te betrekken. Tot slot betreuren wij de aanhoudende backlash tegen genderstudies en het nieuws uit Polen. Wij moedigen jullie dan ook aan om de studenten van de Universiteit van Silezië in Polen te steunen in hun strijd tegen homofobie door hun petitie te ondertekenen. We wensen jullie alvast een fijne zomer en zien jullie graag in september terug! Het Sophia-team |
(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)?

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.
