8th European Feminist Research Conference, CEU Budapest, May 17-20 2012‏

Women and men in Europe in the first decades of the 21st century are
confronted with acute social, political, cultural, economic and
environmental concerns, including increasingly racist politics and
nationalist discourses across Europe, huge cutbacks in social services
and education, strengthening conservative gender discourses, and an
overall climate unfavorable if not hostile to feminist, queer, and other
progressive movements. In striving to address these concerns on
regional, national and international levels, feminist scholars are
re-assessing their theoretical and political toolbox. The ‘politics of
location’, coined by Adrienne Rich in 1976, continues to play a crucial
role in these debates. Women’s and gender studies cannot do without
reflecting on the politics of their locations, but how to use this tool
now that locations are constantly shifting? When the locations we
inhabit are perceived to be multiple, paradoxical and (in)comparable?
The 8th European Feminist Research Conference invites scholars,
students, activists and policy makers to re-visit their politics of
location in the light of current crises in Europe and beyond, and to
reflect upon the ways in which feminist scholarly tools can be used for
understanding and for changing the world.
Reflecting the diversity of women’s and gender studies European Feminist
Research Conferences represent cutting-edge scholarship. The 8th
European Feminist Research Conference is organized by the Central
European University, Department of Gender Studies and AtGender, the
European Association for Gender Research, Education and Documentation.
The European Feminist Research Conferences usually have more than 500
participants from both inside and outside Europe. The Conferences have a
track record of presenting innovative feminist scholarly work with
critical perspectives on contemporary Europe and its histories. The
previous European Feminist Research Conferences were held at the
universities of Ålborg (1991), Graz (1994), Coimbra (1997), Bologna
(2000), Lund (2003), Łódź (2006) and Utrecht (2009).
This one will be held in Budapest, Hungary, May 17 - 20, 2012.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers
Hana Havelkova (Faculty of Humanities, Charles University, Prague, Czech
Republic)

Clare Hemmings (Gender Institute, The London School of Economics and
Political Science, United Kingdom)

Andrea Pető (Central European University, Budapest, Hungary)

Fatima Sadiqi (International Institute for Languages and Cultures, Fez,
Morocco)

Call for Papers
The 8th European Feminist Research Conference welcomes papers that keep
in focus the connections among a number of relevant axes that frame
current researches in the field. We have in mind connections between
disciplines and interdisciplinarity; the past, the present and the
future; gender and intersectionality; activism and power; local and
global; margin and center. The strands listed below indicate the main
lines of inquiry around which the Conference will be structured.
Participants must indicate the strand their paper addresses; it is also
possible to indicate a second strand that will be addressed in their
contribution. Based on these indications the Conference Board will
create intersecting panels across different strands.

Conference strands

EUROSPHERE PhD Summer School on Public Sphere, Sabanci University, Istanbul, 18-22 July 2011‏

Is Public Sphere Exclusively a Nation-State Phenomenon?
EUROSPHERE's next researcher training activity takes place between 18-22 July 2011, hosted in Istanbul by the Sabanci University. This is a PhD-level course on public sphere. The main target group is PhD students who are enrolled in a social science PhD programme. Persons seeking enrollment in a PhD-programme and advanced MA students are also encouraged to apply for admission.
This year's course consists of five thematic components:
The first component presents the ongoing research within the EUROSPHERE Project and introduces a discussion of theories of public sphere.
The second component offers lectures analyzing the status of everyday life and human imagination in people's understandings and experiences of the public sphere.
The third block elucidates the role of civil society and democratic institutions in public spheres, whereas the fourth conceives the public sphere with a focus on diversity and domination in public spheres.
The final component offers two philosophical analyses of ethics in public sphere.
The course lasts five days and offers lectures and student presentations each day. The overall course provides 20 hours of lectures and 10 hours of student presentations. The course programme, content, and curriculum have been devised to enable the participating PhD students to obtain ECTS
credits that can be used as part of their PhD-education.
There are two levels of participation, each of which qualifies for different levels of ECTS:

Bringing Migration and History into the Equation: Re-Imagining Nationhood and Belonging, Jewish Museum Berlin, 5-7 October 2011‏

Migration poses challenges to European societies as we know them today; indeed, the inclusion of immigrants in these societies has become a controversial issue in most European countries.
Both of these statements are reflected in ongoing debates in numerous European countries. All too often, immigrants are seen as "Others" when it comes to constructing national cohesion and patterns of belonging and identity. The "Othering" of immigrants, perhaps best seen as a process of social construction and engineering, is closely interrelated with social, economic, linguistic and, increasingly, religious questions.
However, immigrant inclusion and exclusion cannot be regarded without reference to historical, cultural and symbolic questions. Thus the analysis of identity formation and collective identities in multiethnic societies brings the political scope of identity politics, historical representations and national narratives to the fore. It entails theoretical and practical questions of (newly) constituting nationhood and transcultural belonging, as well as re-positioning ethnic/migrant minorities in the public sphere.
This conference, Bringing Migration and History into the Equation: Re-Imagining Nationhood and Belonging, will address this intersection of migration, identity formation and belonging from comparative and historical perspectives. The emphasis will be on the intersection of history, politics and commemorative practices/strategies. Case studies as well as theoretical contributions are welcome. We invite the submission of papers on the following topics:
- Migrant inclusion and political/historical representation;
- (Re)formation of nationhood and identities under conditions of diversity;
- Writing, teaching and displaying history in immigrant societies;
- Social and cultural practices/strategies of institutions, organisations and communities to represent migrants and their cultures/histories;
- Transnational and mediated public spheres;
- Borders and belongings: From guest workers and refugees to post-migrants;
- Methodological and theoretical contributions with regard to identity formation, identity politics and historical representation of migration;
The conference will be composed of:
- an opening panel for a larger audience, including invited spokespeople from politics and art;
- a keynote opening lecture;
- panels based on academic papers;
- roundtables with short statements to generate new questions and ideas;
Contributions may be either (longer) academic papers or (shorter) input statements for roundtables, focused on innovative and relevant topics. The conference will be framed by the 50th anniversary of the German-Turkish labor recruitment contract in October 2011. Its commemoration raises a number of questions which will be contextualized in a comparative and international framework. The conference will take up the case of fifty years of German-Turkish labor agreements to shed light on more general issues
stated above. A follow-up conference will be held in Essen in spring 2012, focussing on Lieux de mémoire [places/sites of memory] of migration history. The October 2011 conference is open to scholars in the Humanities and the Social Sciences in the widest sense (anthropology, ethnology, geography, history, law, political sciences, sociology etc.). Abstracts for papers or contributions to roundtables will be considered on a competitive basis. The number of speakers for panels will be limited to 25. Limited financial
support for participants to subsidize expenses for accommodation is available upon request.
Submissions of abstracts (max. 600 words) and a short biographical note (not more than two pages) including a list of (selected) publications are welcomed until June 30, 2011. Papers and contributions will be circulated in advance and must be received by September 25, 2011. Please indicate if you intend to give a full paper or wish to participate in a roundtable.
