“Anti-Gender: Backlash or Strategy? Lessons from the Post-Yugoslav Space“

Time: 6-8 pm

Venue: IOS, R 017, Landshuter Straße 4, 93047 Regensburg

Abstract: In the first part of the talk, Dr Adriana Zaharijević will share findings from the edited volume Hidden Connection: Anti-Gender Mobilizations in the Post-Yugoslav Space (co-edited with Roman Kuhar). This ‘space’, not so long ago sharing a common political, economic and legal structure, proves to be particularly interesting for the research of anti-gender mobilizations. Seen as a miniature showroom, post-Yugoslav space shows how anti-gender germinates and branches out, and provides persuasive reasons why we should talk about mobilizations, not movements or campaigns. In the second part of the talk, focusing more on Serbia, the speaker will claim that we need to understand anti-gender mobilizations , one that effectively curbs equality as such.
