Gender in Science, Technology and Environment (STE)

STE_Training School and Conference in Istanbul

For Early Stage Researchers,

The COST Action 'Gender in Science, Technology and Environment' is
running a Training School and a Conference that will take place in
November 2015 in Istanbul. They training school is fully funded on a
competitive bursary towards expenses, and is designed to enhance
your knowledge and awareness of gender in science, technological and
environmental research. As funding organisations (especially the EU)
are increasingly demanding this expertise, the workshop provides an
excellent opportunity to develop skills and approaches to equip you
for your research career. Following the 3 day workshop is a
conference 'Engendering the Sustainable Development Agenda', and
participation at this will be included in the bursary.

The webpage of the Conference and the Training School where you can
find information on many contents (others will come soon):

The two menus on the right (upper part of your screen) provide
information on the Training School for Early Stage Researchers. The
deadline for application is 31st July 2015, but if you intend to
apply and will not be able to submit the application by then, please,
urgently let us know.

Best wishes, Susan Buckingham

Representing Sexual Humanitarianism (International Workshop - Marseille)

calogero giametta <calogiame@googlemail.com>

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As you might already know, on 23 and 24 September Nicola Mai and I
are organising a 2-day workshop as a result of our research project
'Embodied Borders: Problematizing Sexual Humanitarianism through
Experimental Filmmaking'. Please do circulate the info about the
workshop through your networks. Attendance is free.

------
Representing Sexual Humanitarianism (International Workshop)
MuCEM - Marseille
23 and 24 September 2015
The programme is now available here:
https://sexualhumanitarianism.wordpress.com/

Since January 2014 the Embodied Borders research project, based at
the Mediterranean Laboratory of Sociology (LAMES) of Aix-Marseille
Université, has looked critically at humanitarian interventions and
policies addressing victims of sex trafficking and gender/sexual
minority asylum seekers in the UK and France. The project examines
the workings of 'sexual humanitarianism', a concept used to
understand and represent the humanitarian governance of undesirable
migrants that are framed as vulnerable according to their gender,
sexual orientation and/or behaviours.
What is at stake when sexuality/gender are rendered an apparatus of
rights-claims in the context of migration control?
How do sexuality and gender-related moral panics function when
migrant populations are specifically targeted?
How do the neoliberal imperatives of guaranteeing freedom and making
the State secure co-exist in processes of filtering populations at
the borders?
Which artistic, political, policymaking, documentary, and fictional
representations naturalise and operationalise sexual humanitarianism?
Throughout the two-day workshop at the MuCEM (Marseille) we will
engage with artists, filmmakers, scholars, and activists whose work
is focused on sexuality, gender and migration issues.
