From 18 to 20 October, the hybrid annual conference of RINGS (The International Research Association of Institutions of Advanced Gender Studies) will take place at Paderborn University. Under the title "Gender, Climate, Movement: Feminist research and activism meet climate change and mobility" international scholars will discuss ecological, social and economic impacts of climate change.
"Contemporary feminist research and activism in different parts of the world revolve around the impact of climate change on the environment, communities and social relations.
This English-language conference brings together international papers that address intersectional gender perspectives, climate and mobility in scholarship and activism not only symbolically and metaphorically, but also with a commitment to material, structural change in the world. The contributions address the urgent need for fundamental socio-ecological transformations, question traditional paths and point to opportunities for reorientations," summarises Prof. Dr. Antje Langer, Director of the Centre for Gender Studies/Gender Studies at Paderborn University, and co-organiser of the conference.
The event is supported by the Presidential Board of Paderborn University.
