Gender Studies in Debate: Pathways, challenges and interdisciplinary perspectives

INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS

Institute of Social and Political Sciences (ISCSP)
 University of Lisbon, 25-27th may 2016

Gender and women studies and feminisms have produced important transformations in our daily life and in our understanding of reality. While the topic of equality of rights is increasingly on the public agenda, there have been advances and retreats and persisting gender inequalities continue to challenge us to look for more solid analyses.

The Interdisciplinary Centre on Gender Studies (CIEG) wishes to contribute to the analytical deepening of these issues and invites you to participate in the International Congress of Gender Studies, on 25, 26 and 27th may 2016 under the following theme “Gender Studies in Debate: Pathways, challenges and interdisciplinary perspectives”

We count on you to address questions such as: what impact have had different gender equality policies on the effective implementation of rights? How to ensure the implementation of laws and prevent perverse effects? Power, relations of power, masculine domination and gender: which connections? Are there frontiers between activism and research, and if yes, how/where to draw them? How to balance the collective subject ‘women’ with ethnic, class, generational, sexual orientation, and global diversity? How is gender performed in daily life and in different institutions: between reproduction and agency? Heteronormativity, bodies, and sexuality: central issue for gender studies? Men and masculinities: new configurations? What backlash effects have the crisis, the increased inequalities and the neoliberal thinking had on the current life of men and women?

We also wish to bring to the debate the contributions of researchers from different parts of the world to help us reflect upon the pathways followed by gender and women studies and feminisms in their geographic, political and sociocultural contexts.

Marking its 4th anniversary, CIEG is very pleased to join the celebrations of the 110 years of Instituto Superior de Ciências Sociais e Políticas (ISCSP) of University of Lisbon (ULisboa), by organizing its 1st International Congress.

Objetivos: 

Com a criação de um curso de Mestrado em Família e Género no ISCSP visa-se fornecer uma formação interdisciplinar nas temáticas referidas juntando um conjunto de doutorados/as e de especialistas de diferentes áreas científicas que abordam transversalmente a temática do género e da família.

São os seguintes os objetivos deste novo ciclo de estudos:
1. Proporcionar uma formação de nível aprofundado nos domínios da família e do género capaz de contrapor informação rigorosa aos discursos ideológicos e desinformados.
2. Criar uma oferta de 2º ciclo única no país, já que pretende reunir no quadro da mesma oferta pedagógica investigadores/as e especialistas que se encontram em geral dispersos/as pelas suas diferentes áreas científicas.
3. Contribuir para a análise das dinâmicas familiares e das relações de género através de uma estreita articulação com centros de investigação, designadamente os sediados no ISCSP.
