The Centre for Women's Studies at the University of Hyderabad is conducting a national seminar on "Building Bridges: Contemporary Research in Gender Studies".
This seminar aims to engage with questions about contemporary intersectionalities and intertextualities that are overlooked in areas such as policy making, politics, academics and economic development. It will focus on how domestic arenas, corporate spaces, and public fora are carved out, and will attempt to situate the construction, role, and position of gender in these sculpted places. There will also be discussions about, first, how "the field" in different areas of gender-based research poses a challenge for the researcher and, second, how methodological strategies actually play out in the field.
