EUGenDem virtual workshop series restarts this September! The first seminar is part of a one-day PhD course on the ‘Contestations of gender equality in contemporary Europe: Anti-equality politics and East-West tensions’. The intensive PhD course focuses on contemporary contestations around gender equality in Europe. Whilst being a core value and norm of many European countries and the European Union, gender equality has become hotly contested as evidenced in national and transnational anti-gender backlash in sexual and reproductive rights debates, the Istanbul Convention, and in political homophobia in countries like Poland.
Time: September 6th 2022, 10.15 – 12.30 EEST (9.15 -11.30 CEST)
Speakers:
Izabela Desperak (University of Łódź, Poland): From Poland with love… Anti-abortion and anti-LGBT+ movement and policies in CEE countries
