September 15-17th:
1-Migration,
Feminism and the Sex Industry
Lecture/Workshop
University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
15/16/17 September 2010
Open to PhD students, researchers and post-docs in
gender studies
in Switzerland.
Compulsory Registration Deadline: 15 August 2010.
Migration has transformed feminists’ ideological conflict about
the
meaning of prostitution. From being a two-sided debate about
whether ’sex work is work’ or ‘violence
against women’, the discussion now must consider
migration policies that favour ‘highly skilled’, white-collar
and technical professionals over those willing to take less
prestigious jobs in the informal sector, including the sex industry.
Researchers working in the realm of migration and sex work and
wishing to present a paper (15 minutes, followed by a 30 minutes
discussion) are asked to send a title and abstract before 15
August to: Janine.dahinden [a]
unine.ch
Maison d’analyse des processus sociaux - MAPS
Université de Neuchâtel
Faubourg de l’Hôpital 27 CH-2000 Neuchâtel
2- Migration and Globalization: Gendered Perspectives
MA course open to all students in gender studies in Switzerland
University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
Maximum 40 participants (5 ECTS)
November
3-5, 2010
What does globalisation mean in terms of people’s movements
across borders? Who leaves home and why? How do ideas about
Gender
Equality help us understand undocumented migration
and illegal jobs? What are human
trafficking and smuggling?
(Compulsory information meeting: 20 September. Texts and references
will be given, that students will be asked to read before the
workshop.)
The teaching is in English. Registration and information:
