The
congress will be hosted by the International Institute for Sociology of
Law, which is located in Oñati, Spain. Sessions will be held in both
English and Spanish, with simultaneous translation provided for the
final keynote speaker session.
This
congress is aimed at examining the main conceptual frameworks for
thinking about gender violence. We invite participants to consider how
useful the concept of gender violence is for tackling violence against
women. We also particularly encourage papers that will examine the
intersections of gender violence with other determinants of
inequalities. Papers are invited from researchers working in the area of
gender violence, as well as policy makers, practitioners and activists.
We feel that this interdisciplinary framework may help to produce new
conceptualisations of gender violence.
It is proposed to have sessions on:
- New theoretical models of gender violence: questioning the primacy of gender inequality
- The persistence of gender violence as a gendered phenomenon
- The intersection of gender, race and ethnicity
- Giving voice of marginalised women: disabled women’s experiences of violence
- Debunking stereotypes of battered women: intersections of gender and class
- Sexuality and violence
