Gender, Diversity, Citizenship (2nd Edition)

2nd Edition of Gender, Diversity and Citizenship Colloquium

7-8th May, 2025 - University of Évora 

The second edition of the Colloquium “Gender, Diversity and Citizenship” will take place on the 7th and 8th of May, at the University of Évora. It is organised by the Philosophy and Gender Centre (of the Portuguese Society of Philosophy) and by Praxis - Centre of Philosophy, Politics and Culture.

This 2nd edition will give continuity to the Colloquium organised in 2007, with the same title, which resulted in a homonymous publication (coord. Fernanda Henriques), in 2008. As  then, we want explore how gender manifests in various areas of public life: public space, migrations, ecology, new technologies, diversity. In this 2nd edition, we want also to assess the advances made in matters of diversity and gender equality in this time - almost two decades.

Women’s experiences and knowledge in these matters are still ignored and silenced; this initiative hopes to cultivate a space in academia and in the public sphere to, with our voices, keep the discussion alive about gender, diversity and citizenship, in the active participation for a more just society.
