organized by the Central European University, Department of Gender Studies and
AtGender, the European Association for Gender Research, Education and

participants from both inside and outside of Europe. The Student’s Day provides space

The Student’s Day will be held on Sunday, May 20, 2012 as part of the 8
th European
Feminist Research Conference, which takes place during May 17 - 20, 2012.
Activities of the Student’s Day will be organized around three events.
1) Keynote lecture (to be announced).
2) Career Workshops: Innovative training framework for sharing experiences in
academia and life after graduation. The student’s day offers a mixture of different
workshops aimed to facilitate cross generational and cross institutional collaboration that
transgress traditional intellectual boundaries, providing dialogues about how to develop
dynamic projects in research and working life. Topics of the workshops will include
publishing, geographies of education, gender and activism, and coping with research
dilemmas.
3) Paper workshops with keynote speaker(s) and gender experts/professors in which
students can discuss their papers (to be submitted before the conference). These
workshops provide an intellectually inspiring forum for constructive dialogues around
ongoing research projects in small groups in an informal setting together with gender
scholars and peer students.
