The "International Research Center for Intercultural Studies” (C.I.R.S.I.) promotes an International symposium on "Identities, gender and in-equalities" in order to extend and deepen the debate on gender and migration launched by the first issue of the Quarterly Journal "Temperanter” which will be presented on that occasion ("Temperanter”, n. 1, January-March 2010: "Women and Equal Opportunities: a Challenge for Everyone”).
Segregation and exclusion of non-dominant ethnic, linguistic, sexual, religious, etc. groups, have been consolidated through time by the instauration of a discriminatory system based on the imposition of false and subordinating representations. A wider interest on these topics has determined an important progress at the theoretical and philosophical level, although rarely followed by effective policies and practices. The following topics can be presented through the most appropriate scientific approach (sociological, literary, psychological, juridical, historical, trans-disciplinary, comparative, etc.):
- relationship between theories and practices on gender, gender and migration, trans-gender, gender and linguistic, religious, etc. minorities
- innovative theories on gender, gender and migration, trans-gender, gender and linguistic, religious, etc. minorities
- innovative applications of consolidated theories on gender, gender and migration, trans-gender, gender and linguistic, religious, etc. minorities
- case study on gender, gender and migration, trans-gender, gender and linguistic, religious, etc. minorities
- relationship between theories and practices on gender and social exclusion, work and social/political participation
- innovative theories on gender and social exclusion, work and social/political participation
- innovative applications of consolidated theories on gender and social exclusion, work and social/political participation
- case study on gender and social exclusion, work and social/political participation
Languages of the symposium: Italian, English and French.
