Seminar about the  relationship between gender and socialism, in several political and social mobilisation settings.

Women and Socialism

In the framework of Natalia Jarska‘s visit at NOVA FCSH, under the ERASMUS programme, we are hosting two seminars that also gather researchers from Lisbon.

The first one will be about the way in which the working class and workers have been an object of memory, from historiography to heritage policies, using as case-studies the Polish and Portuguese settings.

In the second seminar we will discuss the relationship between gender and socialism, in several political and social mobilisation settings, from socialist Poland to imperial Portugal.

Speakers:

• Natalia Jarska (Institute of History of Polish Academy of Sciences): Women, work and state socialism – paradoxes of women’s emancipation through paid employment
• Giulia Strippoli (IHC, NOVA-FCSH): Gender and socialist internationalism: women striking in private and public, from Post-war Italy to the Carnation Revolution
• Inês Galvão (ICS-UL): Politics of relatedness for the emancipation of women: Dignity and authority in PAIGC’s anti-colonial struggle.
