  Caste and gender inequalities: Policy and Dalit women in Maharashtra, India (Swati Kamble, PhD)

  Using Intersectionality Based Policy Approach (IBPA), this research traces the historical trajectory of Dalit (lower caste) women’s distinct mobilization and analyses the influences of their intersectional activism on the policy processes in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Further it studies the effects of the movement on Dalit women from the slums of Mumbai, when accessing the benefits of the Maharashtra government’s micro-credit scheme for women’s economic development. Studying the historical trajectory of Dalit women’s mobilization and how these activists understand and ‘do’ intersectionality while negotiating for their rights at the policy level, is a pertinent insight into how decision makers can attend more effectively to the needs of marginalized groups such as Dalit women. Furthermore, studying how Dalit women try to access policy benefits, by mobilizing themselves at the grassroots level and by using formal and informal ways of negotiations, gives insight into how Dalit women’s movement has empowered them.

  In 2009, Nina Power wrote the book One Dimensional Woman about contemporary portrayals of women. She draws a parallel between the emancipation of women and consumerism and critiques the lack of systematic political reflection in contemporary forms of ‘hip’ feminism. She proposes alternative ideas to effect change in areas such as employment, sexuality, and culture.

  Gendered constraints to cultural participation and leisure time (Franscisca Mullens, PhD)

  Studies show that women not only have less leisure time than men, they also experience less qualitative leisure time. On the other hand, research shows women have a higher participation rate than men for most cultural activities. Using the Participationsurvey* and Flemish Time-use data, this research will try to unveil what constraints are experienced by women and men both in general leisure time, but also for specific activities such as cultural participation. For now, analyses are quantitative, but we are thinking about opening up and doing a qualitative part for better understanding the meaning and experiences of leisure time for women.

  *Every five years the Knowledge Center Culture and Media Participation carries out a survey on leisure, media and cultural participation in Flanders

  Enabling Environment for Sexuality Education to Deliver ‘Healthy’ Outcomes: Analysis of Policy and Gender norms in Uganda (Anna Ninsiima)

  Today's adolescents will determine the social fabric, economic productivity, and reproductive well-being of nations throughout the world in the coming decades. However, adolescents are confronted with life-threatening health risks related to unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV. It has been argued that Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) provides adolescents with information necessary to make safe and informed choices about their sexual health. This study, however, argues that CSE may not make sense if the environment into which young people live is not enabling.

  “Bordering family life: tensions within marriage migration policy in Flanders” (Amal Miri)

  This paper builds on a “narrative analysis” of policy documents, transcripts of parliamentary debate and media pronouncements by government ministers/representatives as well as in-depth interviews with six experts in the field of family migration and integration. Drawing fromthese different narratives and ‘situated knowledges’ (Haraway, 1988) this paper wishes to contribute to the existing scholarship on politics and migration in general and “the gendered politics of migration” in particular. By applying a critical lens in analysing family/marriage migration policy and the rising discourse of gender-equality, women’s empowerment and social inclusion that informed this policy, this paper will argue that these policies embody a fundamental tension. This tension is located between holding on to these restrictive measures and controls using the rational of gender-equality and the fight against forced/sham marriages on the one hand and the vulnerable positions couples in general and women in particularare put in while struggling to bring their relationship in line with the family norms and ideals of state policies on the other hand.

  Kader Abdolah: poëtica, vertaling en receptie

  Kader Abdolah (1954) woont sinds 1988 als politiek vluchteling in Nederland. Na het behalen van zijn diploma Fysica in Iran raakte hij betrokken bij verzetsbewegingen, eerst tegen de Sjah en vervolgens tegen het islamitische regime. Na zijn vlucht naar Nederland begon hij met het schrijven van literatuur in het Nederlands, waarbij hij de taal leerde met behulp van kinderboeken. In 1993 publiceerde hij zijn eerste boek in het Nederlands, De Adelaars, dat de Nederlandse prijs voor het beste debuut won, het Gouden Ezelsoor. Er volgden verschillende romans, waarvan Het Huis van de Moskee tot hiertoe de meest succesvolle was. Er werden meer dan 300.000 exemplaren van verkocht. Kader Abdolah’s boeken zijn in 21 talen vertaald. Zijn laatste roman is Het pad van de gele slippers (2018).

  Kader Abdolah is een van de meest vooraanstaande Nederlandse auteurs van het moment. Hij is ook bijzonder present in het publieke debat in Nederland. Ondanks deze zichtbaarheid en populariteit is er op academisch vlak naar verhouding weinig onderzoek gebeurd naar zijn oeuvre. Dit colloquium heeft als doel Kader Abdolah's werk vanuit een literatuur- en vertaalwetenschappelijk perspectief te benaderen.
