Though gender studies have made considerable leaps since the 1980s, what is its role in today’s world? Gender still has much to offer in terms of assessing the rise of the right, new nationalism and ethnic conflict.
The UCD centre for Gender Feminisms and Sexualities has opened calls for papers for its first annual conference, taking place from 23rd-25th May. The conference aims to address the status of gender studies and how multidisciplinary gender analysis can provide valuable insights to society.
Keynote speakers include: Professor Inderpal Grewal, Chair of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Yale University and Brigid Quilligan, manager of the Kerry Travellers Health and Community Development Project.
To take part in the conference, send an abstract of less than 250 words and a short bio to the centre for Gender Feminisms and Sexualities by 2nd February. The centre was formed in April 2017 with the aim of using multidisciplinary approaches to further research into gender issues and is hosted by both the UCD School of English, Drama & Film and UCD School of Social Work, Social Policy & Social Justice.
