The 5th Conference will be held from 25 - 27 October 2007 at
Humboldt-Universität Berlin. It will be organised by the Center for Transdisciplinary
Gender Studies (ZtG) and is combined with the 10th anniversary conference
of the Gender Studies Course
As part of the 10th anniversary conference the experiences of the ZtG will
be evaluated. This evaluation can be shared by many other Gender Studies institutes
and thus, a combination of both conferences has the strength of bringing together
different forces as well as discussions. The ZtG invites you (wholeheartedly
and officially) to join the 5th annual conference of the Committee of Women’s
and Gender Studies Institutions in German-speaking Areas that will be held
from 25 – 27 October 2007 at Humboldt-Universität.
On Thursday, October 25 and Friday, October 26 speeches, workshops, and roundtable discussions are planned concerning the topics:
1. International contextualisation and development of Gender
Studies
(such as the development from women’s studies to a debate about identity
studies)
2. Transdisciplinarity/Interdisciplinarity via Gender Studies – Disciplining Gender Studies;
3. Positioning gender studies within science politics: critical reflection of institutionalisation, restructuring of the academic structure; competition on excellency
We will invite speakers from different national contexts in Europe to discuss these topics and wish to win Gender Studies lecturers/researchers from your universities as discussants.
On Saturday, October 27 we plan the program – like in the preceding
years - as consisting solely of workshops that will be filled by your suggestions.
