The Readings in Feminist and Gender Studies Series is an initiative of the Doctoral Programme in Feminist Studies (FLUC/ CES), which aims to read literary works written by women authors from all over the world, from the perspective of feminist and gender theories.

This first series will be coordinated by Feminist Studies PhD students Fabrina Souza and Iuri Lopes, with Adriana Bebiano, a professor at FLUC and a researcher at CES, as lead researcher.

The meetings will be held monthly, whenever possible on the first Wednesday of each month, lasting up to two hours and taking place at CES|Alta premises. Participation is free and open to everyone in the UC community, but prior registration is required [HERE].

The titles for discussion are initially suggested by the coordinators or participants, and are then shared at the meetings and on the Series' website. Registered participants will receive copies of the selected texts (whenever possible) by e-mail.

The talk will be in Portuguese, and it is up to the participants to choose the copy (and translation) they prefer.

The texts to be discussed in subsequent sessions will be announced according to the interests of those participating.

If you have any queries, please contact fabrinasouza@ces.uc.pt
