Gender Dialogues in Italy. A one-day conference in Rome.

The Gender Dialogues in Italy conference will focus on examining the multifaceted and interdisciplinary dimensions of Gender Studies, while fostering a rich academic discourse and creative exchanges regarding gender within the Italian context, particularly addressing its intersections with culture and society.

The organizers of the conference believe that in contemporary society, the lens of Gender Studies can be effectively utilized to investigate some of the most pressing issues within our current social landscape.  Moreover, they believe in the enriching experience of collegial and multigenerational academic exchange, and so invite any members of academia or the general public who have an interest in gender to attend this open event.

• Historical perspectives on gender in Italy.
