Resilience is a powerful idea(l) whose deployment spans the macro-level of ecological and economic systems to the micro-level of selves, and the complex circuits of power between them. What does an ethics of self that privileges resilience look like? Which subjects does it shape under its auspices? This presentation takes resilience as a point of departure to tell yet another tale of neoliberal governmentality, and explores the gendered character of this neoliberal mode of subjectification.Locatie: Campus Brussels Humanities, Sciences & Engineering campus

13 febThis research provides a critical analysis of the concept of harmful cultural practices (HCP) by focusing on ‘moralities’ regulating the female body. The empirical research aims at investigating discourses of ‘harm’ in traditional practices such as veiling, as well as those practices which are usually left out in the literature of HCP, such as beauty practices and cosmetic surgeries.

07 mrt In her book “The Moral Case for Abortion” Ann Furedi sets out the ethical arguments to respect a woman's right to decide. Drawing on the traditions of sociological thinking and moral philosophy, it maintains that there is a strong moral case for recognizing autonomy in personal decision-making about reproductive intentions. More than this, it argues that to prevent a woman from making her own choice to continue or end her pregnancy is to undermine the essence of her humanity.
The lecture by Ann Furedi will be followed by a panel discussion with Freddy Mortier, Ladan Rahbari, Lucie Van Crombrugge, Anne Verougstraete and Carine Vrancken.

Women’s sexual, reproductive and health rights are related to multiple human rights including the right to life, the right to be free from torture, the right to health, the right to privacy, the right to education, and the prohibition of discrimination. Nevertheless, violations of these rights are frequent, due to the inaccessibility or denial of access to services, the imposition of societal values concerning women’s sexuality, poverty and power inequalities on the intersections of gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity or religion. In this lunch seminar, we present research and projects on sexual health and rights from a variety of contexts and offer a humanist perspective on the global challenges to the realization of these rights.

Radicalism, in the sense of quality or state of being radical, seems an inevitable condition linked to conversion. Already in 1902, William James makes an irrevocable correlation between conversion and radicalism. Although many scholars have since then made several attempts to confirm, deconstruct or debunk this interrelationship, after 9/11, Belgian Muslim converts were predominantly framed as radical. Besides the proposition that radicalism is an inherent part of the conversion process, conversion is also viewed as treason. While female Muslim conversions were and are still understood as passive and emotional processes, male Muslim converts were previously framed as active and rational subjects but after 9/11 and particularly in the aftermath of the Syrian civil war, they are viewed as suspicious and violent radicals.

18 meiOne of the main challenges in intersectionality research in the social sciences is selecting the right method or combination of methods. Compared to studies that examine uniform categories (e.g. women) or multiple categories (e.g. women and ethnic minorities), intersectional research questions the fixed categories that guide traditional paradigms and methods. Inspired by real-world contexts, in which for example political identities are formed and contested, intersectionality opens a fuzzy black box in which categories are not pre-defined. How can we do justice to this complexity, while still completing a research project with tangible empirical results based on systematic inquiry? Drawing on my past and ongoing mixed method research on political representation and participation of citizens with a migration background this lecture will demonstrate how political ethnography offers a new avenue to tackle this dilemma. In this lecture, political ethnography is conceived as an approach, rather than a method, that may include both qualitative and quantitative methods. Methods that will be covered are in-depth interviews, content analysis, and participant observation.

18 mei to 19 meiThe Gender Research Seminar is a yearly interdisciplinary course, organized by VUB, UGent and UA, that offers advanced training in research methods in the field of gender and diversity studies. The seminar relates gender to broader issues of diversity, epistemology and questions of (in)equality in power in society, culture and politics from a critical research perspective. In 2016-2017 the seminar will be organized at VUB. This year’s focus is on ‘Intersectionality: Theory, Concepts and Methods’. Intersectionality refers to the interaction between differentiating social categories such as gender, ‘race’, class, sexual orientation and age which impact upon individual experiences and create hierarchies of power, discrimination and privilege. Students are invited to reflect upon how intersectionality impacts upon key concepts, research design and methodology in their research. How does an intersectionality perspective affect our understanding of social phenomena? How does it change how we define and study our object of inquiry? How can we apply an intersectionality perspective when doing qualitative as well as quantitative research and interpreting data?

18 mei At the heart of our current understanding of intersectionality lies the notion of multiple inequalities; the same notion that is at the roots of the most-used quantitative techniques in the social sciences. In this lecture, I will go back to this heart and these roots to stimulate a well-informed discussion of how intersectionality and quantitative research can benefit each other.

19 mei After conducting many years of ‘classical’ ethnographic fieldwork among refugees on Cyprus, I started field research in hospitals, community medical settings and medical schools in Belgium, England and Cyprus. My collaborations with clinical and biomedical scientists have led to an ongoing dialogue about ethnography and reflections of how different research cultures can clash or merge. I discuss, through some ethnographic vignettes from my own research journey, some of the barriers and facilitators social scientists working in medical research units may face in their engagements with ethnography. I conclude with some suggestions about how the profile of social scientific work in medicine can be raised through an intersectional approach in the collaborations with clinicians.

19 mei Understanding intersectionality both as a critical power analytics and social justice praxis, this conference addresses a set of issues regarding its depoliticizing within the neoliberal university. Seeking specifically to answer how race gets erased in much of the contemporary (feminist) intersectionality research and teaching, it unpacks our academic practices that contribute to the whitening of this initially insurgent knowledge firmly rooted in black feminist thought and activism, and suggests possible avenues to counter its governmentalizing and reclaim its radical transformative potential.

22 mei Political Science has identified a so-called “Gender Gap” in Radical Right Party (RRP) voting. Despite the centrality of class, gender and ethnicity/race, as well as emotions for this debate in the literature on RRP’s, these concepts have not been studied as intersecting and little consideration has been made to the role they might play in explaining the gendered difference in RRP support. This paper calls for a theorization of emotions that permeate the scholarly debate. Combined with an intersectional perspective, Affect Theory can help us understand how politically mobilized emotions are shaped, and in turn, shaping multiple and intersecting categories of difference and inequalities.

Social activists and feminists in the West have shown their solidarity with Muslim women in different ways. This research is based on life stories of Iranian female migrants currently residing in Belgium, and explores their perceptions of Western campaigns of solidarity with Muslim women. The lecture will address how women’s understanding of the two contexts’ differences is not based on binary East-West categorization but a far more complex differentiation of cultural, moral and political possibilities and limitations. The research depicts an exploratory image of the life of the respondents in contemporary Europe and the relations between their intersectional identifications and their perceptions of their body and bodily practices. -
