Regional Programs

In the relatively short time of its existence, the Department has managed to organize 5 Regional Seminars in Gender and Culture, sponsored by the Higher Education Support Program (HESP) at CEU. Each of the Seminars brought together some 20 participants (from the region and out of it) to work on a particular topic in four related meetings:

  • 1994-1996: Gender, Citizenship, and Nationalism
  • 1996-1998: Gender/Culture/Representation
  • 1998-1999: Multiple Feminisms
  • 1999-2000: Women in Literature and the Arts: Ten Years After the Changes
  • 2001-2002: Conflict over the ‘Woman Question’: A Global-Local Perspective on Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th Century

In that way, the Department has managed to develop an extensive network of scholars involved with gender studies, particularly from transitional countries and new EU members.

The Department is also involved in a number of activities which promote gender studies, hosting research scholars from all over the world for an extended period of time (within Special and Extension Program of CEU scheme), offering short-term grants for syllabus-building (together Curriculum Resource Center), or hosting invited speakers from various recognized universities, in and out of the region. For more information on upcoming Gender Studies regional curricular workshops, please see the website for the CEU Curricular Resource Center. Curricular Resource Center.
