CfP: Radical Europe: Violence, Emancipation and Reaction (Event, 07/2024, Lyon); by: 20.10.2023

30th International Conference of Europeanists: Council for European Studies – CES (Web)

Time: 03.-05.07.2024
Venue: Lyon, France
Proposals by: 20.10.2023

Europe is a zone of heightened conflict. The year 2022 showed the most violent version of it, with the return of war following the Russian invasion of Ukraine justified as an extreme means of protecting Russia’s geopolitical interests. Moving to a different scale of conflict, innovations in the protest repertoire of climate activism (actions targeting artworks in museums to protest against gas and oil extraction projects) have sparked a debate about „radical“ forms of action. In countries such as France and Israel, the use of constitutional tools to enact unpopular laws has unleashed massive protests and undermined the legitimacy of governments’ determination to implement reforms at “any cost”.
In light of this, the Council for European Studies would like the participants of its 30th International Conference of Europeanists to reflect on what «radicalité» means in Europe today. Who defines radicality and in relation to what kind of social, political, cultural and economic project? To what extent can radicality inform political action, and have a casting impact on democracy in Europe? How is radicality constructed, treated, denounced or claimed in contemporary public spaces? How do the media, political actors, activists, and non-governmental organisations deal with issues of radicality?
The Council for European Studies welcomes proposals for panels, roundtables, book discussions and individual papers on the study of Europe broadly defined. The organizers encourage proposals in the widest range of disciplines and timeframes. They welcome panels that combine disciplines, genders, races, nationalities and ages.

The conference program co-chairs are Isabelle Garcin-Marrou (Sciences Po Lyon), Simon Gadras and Montserrat Emperador Badimon (Univ. Lumière Lyon 2), and Anne Verjus (CNRS).

CfP: Reflections on Major Issues in Women’s History: Gender equality, gender division of labor, political participation, sexuality, family, and society (IFRWH 2024 Conference, 04/2024, Tokyo); by: 01.10.2023

IFRWH 2024 Conference – The International Federation for Research in Women’s History – IFRWH | Federation Internationale pour des Femmes – FIRHF (Web)

Time: 04.-10.08.2024
Venue: Tsuda University, Tokyo
Proposals by – extended: 01.10.2023

The second decade of the twenty-first century has seen major upheavals that have threatened to reverse much of the progress made in achieving greater gender equality. On the one hand, the global Covid-19 pandemic intensified reactionary trends as the closing of childcare centers and the shift to online classes, put strong pressure on women to stay at home and supervise children. The pandemic exposed the glaring gaps in income in many countries, focusing attention on the precarious working conditions among “essential workers,” many of whom were women engaged in important, but poorly remunerated, “care work.”
At the same time the pandemic was spreading across the globe, new concerns were raised by the outbreak of war with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As the war continued it has not only brought disastrous losses of life and property but also has threatened the institutions that have stabilized the international system since the end of the Cold War. In country after country, governments have begun to give more attention to “national security” issues, military budgets are rising, and with them concerns that we are on the threshold of a new Cold War.
When we consider the current state of study of women’s history, although there has been much interesting new work, we cannot ignore the huge challenges we face, as political movements have mobilized in opposition to the expansion of the rights of women and sexual minorities, have blocked efforts to close gender gaps, and have waged campaigns to take away a woman’s right to control over her own body and reproductive choices.

The International Federation for Research in Women’s History

The IFRWH was founded in April 1987. The first meeting of national committee representatives was held in 1989, in Bellagio, Italy, with the assistance of the Rockefeller Foundation.
The Aim of IFRWH is to encourage and coordinate research in all aspects of women’s history at the international level, by promoting exchange of information and publication and by arranging and assisting in arranging large-scale international conferences as well as more restricted and specialized meetings. National Committees serve as liaison between communities of researchers and the Federation. Find more information on the website (Web).

Selected papers presented at the Federation’s confrences have been published in several volumes (Web).

CfP: Konflikte, Kontroversen, Kompromisse. Feministische Streitkulturen von 1800 bis heute (Event. 09/2024, Bad Urach); bis: 31.10.2023 [REMINDERIN]

Verein Frauen & Geschichte Baden-Württemberg in Zusammenarbeit mit der Landeszentrale für politische Bildung Baden-Württemberg (Web)

Zeit: 27.-29.09.2024
Ort: Haus auf der Alb in Bad Urach
Einreichfrist: 31.10.2023

Der Verein Frauen & Geschichte Baden-Württemberg feiert sein 30-jähriges Jubiläum mit einer dreitägigen Konferenz. Ziel ist es, historische Konflikte unter frauenbewegten Akteur:innen zu beleuchten. Im Fokus der Veranstaltung stehen die Frage nach und die konstruktive Analyse von feministischen Streitkulturen in Deutschland, Europa und der Welt, von 1800 bis heute. Feminist:innen arbeiteten stets im regionalen, nationalen und internationalen Austausch. Sie adaptierten und verwarfen Ideen und Praktiken, kopierten Strategien und Methoden oder lehnten sie ab, übernahmen Zukunftsentwürfe und Protestformen oder missbilligten sie. Die Ansatzpunkte für Kontroversen waren so divers wie die Beteiligten und ihre feministischen Infrastrukturen. Die Schwarze Bürgerrechtlerin Sojourner Truth fragte 1851 ihre imperialistischen „Schwestern“: „Ain’t I a woman?“; Arbeiterinnen kritisierten bürgerliches Frauenbewegungsengagement als systemstützend; Bürgerinnen positionierten sich gegen Prostitution; „Radikalisierungen“ entstanden u. a. nach persönlichen Divergenzen der Aktivist:innen; Historikerinnen diskutierten über die Schuld von Frauen am und im Nationalsozialismus; die ‚neuen‘ Frauenbewegungen grenzten sich von ‚alten Frauenbewegungen‘ ab; deutsch-deutsche Beziehungen förderten feministische Kontroversen über DDR- und BRD-Systemgrenzen hinweg; „Krüppelfrauengruppen“ der 1980er-Jahre thematisierten Behindertenfeindlichkeit in den Debatten um §218; Generationenkonflikte sind wiederkehrende Streitauslöser; usw.

Jubilee Conference: The Centre for Gender Research at Uppsala University is 40, 12.-13.10.2023, Uppsala

Centre for Gender Research at Uppsala Univ. (Web)

Time: 12.-13.10.2023
Venue: Uppsala University

This year, the Centre for Gender Research – or the Centre for Female Researchers and Women’s Research, as it was previously called – has existed at Uppsala University for over 40 years.
The Centre was established in 2003 and has, according to instructions from the Vice-Chancellor, a commitment to carry out research and teaching within the field of gender studies, which includes different perspectives on sex and gender, as well as critical perspectives on how sex and gender interact with other dimensions of power. But already in 1982 the Centre for Female Researchers and Women’s Research was established as an independent unit within Uppsala University.
It is now just over 40 years since research and education within the field of gender studies found a home at Uppsala University, and 20 years since the Centre for Gender Research was established in its current form. During 2023 the Centre is offering a range of different activities in order to shine a light on, discuss and reflect on gender research and gender studies as a subject. The culmination of the celebrations is the Jubilee conference, focusing on the breadth and diversity within current gender research.

Keynote speakers

  • Elizabeth A. Wilson, Professor in the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the Emory Coll. of Arts and Sciences, USA
  • Katarina Pirak Sikku, artist living in Jokkmokk, exploring Sami family history
  • Ann Phoenix, Professor of Psychosocial Studies at the Univ. Coll. London
