27th of March 2025 - F*GG LAB

Forwarded by our dear colleagues of F*GG from University of Vienna:

At the F*GG LAB, we want to discuss historical research on women*, gender relations and constructions of difference in regular workshop discussions. In doing so, it is important to us to link research from different thematic, temporal and geographical contexts. Beyond networking, we would like to initiate a methodological-theoretical exchange on open questions, controversies and future perspectives of women's and gender history. We welcome the participation of colleagues at all stages of their university career.

On March 27, 2025 at 6:30 p.m., Cäcilia Wosnitzka, Prae-doc at the Institute of Contemporary History, will talk about diasporic spaces of female Polish emigrants in the (West) German history of democracy before 1993.

We warmly invite you to the first appointment and look forward to seeing many of you there!

When: Thursday, March 27th, 6:30 p.m.
Where: Kolingasse 14-16, SR 12
Afterwards: Café Stein, Währinger Str. 6-8, 1090 Wien

Natascha Bobrowsky and Paula Lange (organizers of the F*GG LAB)
Johanna Gehmacher and Dietlind Hüchtker (heads of the Key Research Area
and Doc-School Cluster F*GG)

mdw-GENDER STUDIES LECTURE SERIES: Performing Challenges

The Gender Lecture Series explores the relationships between performing arts and interdependent social, political, and ecological challenges. Challenge is meant here in the literal sense of a questioning or doubting, but also as a suggestion, invitation, provocation, or taking on. We want to ask, on the one hand, how current global challenges find form in the arts, that is to say, how they are performed, and on the other, how performative practices themselves challenge, invite, and potentially provoke change. In this context, it is the aesthetic means and conditions of performing today, situated at the intersections of performing arts, activism, politics and theory, that are to be at the centre of our joint engagement with and discussion of gender issues.
