Globalization, genders and languages
INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM
The conference, organised by the Research Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies (CIRSDe), aims to promote cultural exchanges among researchers interested in the gender perspectives in their work. At the same time, it’s an occasion to relaunch the debate on how Women’s and Gender studies can be integrated into traditional academic approaches.
The topics we intend to discuss are: globalization, cultural exchanges, transculturality, migrations, languages, economic development and the decline in importance of national boundaries. It will be necessary to adopt a gender perspective and an interdisciplinary approach in discussing these subjects.
The different topics will be analysed in the following parallel sessions (please click on links for more details):
From margins to centre. Feminism, Queer Theory and Postcolonial Critique
Gender and culture in European Cities
Gender Studies migration in the Francophone area. Approaches, Researches and Feminisms
Migrant Writings. The North American case
Migrant Writings. The Italian case
The gender and class impact of the current global crisis
Women scientists tracing the future. Development, science, roles
Date and place: February 10-12, 2011 in Turin (Italy).
Official languages: Italian, French and English.

“Only junk for the Italian University”. This is the message written on a 10 meters long banner at La Sapienza, University of Rome, where more than 20 thousand people protested against the “rubbish reform” of the educational system by the minister Gelmini. On the 17th of November, International Students’ Day, parents, professors, researchers and students gathered publicly to peacefully fight for the emancipation of education, inspired also by a new global wave of action for education.
Italian students’ networks and movements announce that, in the next weeks, occupations of university buildings will start and that on 27th of November students will participate to the national manifestation of the Cgil. Let’s MOVE!
