Framework

The Gender Workshops have been, over last six years, open spaces for debate seeking to explore the epistemological potential of feminist perspectives in understanding social life. These have been approached from different social, political and cultural contexts, focusing on the dialogue between different disciplines and areas of research.

During each session, speakers present and discuss a topic, intersecting with their own research or professional and civic activity. At large, the presentation is based on texts or other means of reflection previously available, followed by a discussion with the audience.
