Story Behind
As it is always with the collaborative projects, the whole thing started with the exchange of ideas between Richard Mole, Ewa Mazierska and myslef on the complex history of gender as a term and a discipline in Eastern Europe. The relaxed thoughts came to the final decision, why not try to organise a platform for discssion about it, I mean, to organise a conference, which seem as a total project, since gender is connected to almost every part of human activity. It all started the end of April 2017, a year ago, then we apply for the fundings, and we got support form Oxford Noble Foundation . And here we are, ready for the malti-panelled conference on:
Impacts of Gender Discourse on Polish Politics, Society and Culture: Comparative Perspectives
This is a collaborative project between University College London School of Slavonic and east European Studies and University of Central Lancashire.
Our aim is, of course, to exchange knowledge and ideas about how contemporary gender politics, debates on sexuality and equality mechanisms affect politics, culture and social life in Poland, and how they are shaped by wider discourse about gender and sexuality, but also create a space for networking for the future cooperations, especially for creating valuable publications on history of Polish gender research.
I hope we will all have a good time in London, at School of Slavonic and east European Studies UCL, 11-12 June, 2018,
