We are witnesses to the ongoing marginalization of feminist political analyses within the mainstream social sciences and the growing opposition to gender studies in Europe and beyond. These negative trends have also reached Southeast Europe, and feminist political science remains on the margins, relegated to individual engagement and initiatives.
The seminar is organized by the Regional Network for the Study of Gender and Politics in Southeast Europe (GenPolSEE) with the support of the Heinrich Bell Foundation, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, and the European Union Office in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Seminar objectives:
- Raising awareness about the principles of feminist political science among scholars from universities and connecting them
- Identifying existing feminist political science teaching and research activities and potentials for future activities.
Target group for seminar participation:
- Faculty staff working at public and private universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina who are involved in teaching and/or research in the field of feminist political science
- Leadership staff from public and private universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina who can influence future proposals on mainstreaming gender in political sciences;
The seminar will be conducted in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian and English.
