| Description | Gender Studies Program, Faculty of Social Studies, Masaryk University, Brno Gender Studies Department, Faculty of Humanities, Charles University, Prague Gender Studies Centre, Faculty of Philosophy, Comenius University, Bratislava Gender & Sociology and National Contact Centre – Women in Science, Institute of Sociology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague have organized the 2nd Czech and Slovak Feminist Studies Conference: Feminist Studies on the Borders and Beyond. This conference follows up on the Czech and Slovak Feminist Studies Conference which took place at the Faculty of Humanities in Prague in 2005. The conference has offered a platform for dialogue among various disciplines, concepts and different epistemological approaches. It was an opportunity to explore feminist topics across the fields of science, arts, education, labor market, politics or media and at the intersections of gender, class, sexuality and ethnicity. Thus the conference topic: “borders and beyond.” Presented papers explored: borders between disciplines and their overlap, borders and synergies of methods and methodologies, borders and intersections of public and private, beyond borders of East and West, beyond borders of North and South, borders within societies and the points of connection, borders and permeability of actors and structures, crossing borders: mental and spatial, borders of reality and their critical transcending, borders and alliances between activism and science, borders and links between everyday and expert knowledge, borders of normalcy and their shifts, borders of useful and useless knowledge, borders and nexuses between objective and positional knowing, borders, disciplination and subversion |
