Workshop on experiences of gendered inequalities and vulnerabilities, and on strategies for change
In the aftermath of #meetoo, there has been an increased awareness on how systems of privilege related to gender and sexuality – but also to race and other dividing societal categories – have an impact on both agency and well-being for different groups and individuals. And of course, the university is not excluded from practices of injustice, nor from discrimination and harassment related to gender and sexuality. In this workshop, we will share experiences of gendered inequalities and vulnerabilities, as well as work together to find strategies for change. Through a joint analysis of individual experiences, we will collaborate in both defining patterns of privilege and practices of inequalities, as well as to formulate ideas for promoting change.
