FemIDEAS

We are delighted to announce the first transnational fully online conference organised by FemIDEAS and FemDialogue.

We invite submissions for presentations at Transforming Theory, Policy, and Practice: Decolonise Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in Higher Education (HE), a transnational online conference. Grounded in victim-survivor-centred, feminist, intersectional, decolonial, and abolitionist approaches, the conference seeks to bring together people with lived experience, students, academics, activists, and policymakers to bridge the gaps between theory, policy, and practice.

We welcome submissions that explore how higher education systems, policies, practices, and activism can more effectively prevent and respond to SGBV through inclusive, trauma-informed, and transformative approaches.

Submissions are welcome in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Live language interpretation and captioning will be provided throughout the conference.

This conference is free to attend for all presenters and attendees. There are no registration fees.

Please visit our conference page to find out more, including suggested themes, publishing opportunities and submission guidelines.

Join us to mark the launch of the new FemIDEAS website and the publication of a new report from The 1752 Group with North-South Feminist Dialgoues: Silencing Sexual and Gender-based Violence Misconduct in Academia and Politics of Naming.

The evening will be an informal, in-person event at Fyvie Hall, 309 Regent Street, London, W1B 2HT. Vegan snacks and refreshments will be provided and everyone is welcome!
