Gender and Sexualities: Rhetorics and Politics (2012)
Initiated through the Preliminary Action with the same title, founded by the AECID in 2010, the Integrated Action for scientific and institutional reinforcement "Gender and Sexualities: Rhetorics and Politics" aims to encourage a wide range of research and innovation on gender and sexuality studies. It aims to promote a stable bond between the four participating institutions –the Universitat de Barcelona, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (Argentina) and Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco (Mexico)–, with the aim of developing an interdisciplinary and interinstitutional space which should enable both a reflection on cultural processes and practices from a gender perspective, as well as scientific exchange and cooperation at all levels. In consequence, the Action is presented as a joint program of teaching and research activities to be developed within one year with the possibility of expanding to four.
