Gender Wars: East and South

For the past two years, the Gender Wars: East and South research network has been exploring its cross-regional cultural, historical, and political implications, uncovering their similarities and differences within and between Central Eastern Europe and Latin America. Our aim has been to provide a more nuanced understanding of the intersections of history, religion, sexuality, and gender have contributed to a backlash against women’s and LGBTQ+ rights across the globe. 

We held a final project conference on the 25^th and 26^th of September 2024 at St Antony’s College, Oxford. Bringing together twenty speakers and an audience of around 100 in-person and online, the event offered a dynamic platform for scholars from across Europe and Latin America to present comparative studies and case analyses related to these pressing issues.

As part of the Gender Wars: East and South project, network member Karol Radziszewski put on an exhibition at St Antony's College, Oxford. A write up of the exhibit can be found on our blog.
