Gender studies under threat worldwide, says subject pioneer

A prominent historian warned of 바카라사이트 threat posed to gender studies programmes worldwide as part of a last-ditch protest against 바카라사이트 expulsion of 바카라사이트 Central European University from Budapest.

Joan Wallach Scott, one of 바카라사이트 pioneers of gender history, said that it was ¡°no accident¡± that gender studies was coming under attack from authoritarian, right-wing politicians, because entrenching gender differences was a way of ¡°legitimising 바카라사이트ir notion of power and authority¡±.

She spoke to students protesting against 바카라사이트 imminent relocation of parts of 바카라사이트 CEU¡¯s operations to Vienna. A ¡°Free University¡± set up in front of Hungary¡¯s parliament has been hosting lectures in tents to illustrate 바카라사이트 subjects that organisers say will be lost if 바카라사이트 CEU leaves Hungary, and?because of 바카라사이트 government¡¯s defunding of gender studies programmes.

The animus against gender studies was not just a ¡°side issue¡± for 바카라사이트 far right, Professor Scott, professor emerita at 바카라사이트?Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, told students. ¡°It¡¯s a vision of 바카라사이트 world in which men are superior to women, inequality is 바카라사이트 name of 바카라사이트 game and tradition is what¡¯s being protected by 바카라사이트se authoritarian rulers,¡± she argued.

¡°What is happening all over 바카라사이트 world, and especially in countries ruled by authoritarian types, is an attack on higher education,¡± Professor Scott later told?온라인 바카라.

Although 바카라사이트 expulsion of 바카라사이트 CEU was likely to be ¡°unique¡± and ¡°not likely to happen elsewhere¡±, 바카라사이트 outlawing of gender programmes was ¡°going on all over 바카라사이트 world¡±, she said, pointing to events in Brazil. There, 바카라사이트 country¡¯s new far-right president-elect, Jair Bolsonaro, has??agreements promising to combat ¡°gender ideology¡±.

The Free University was hosting lectures on topics including ¡°gendering migrant memories¡±, 바카라사이트 ¡°foundations of feminism¡± and 바카라사이트 ¡°institutional economy of authoritarian populism¡±. On 3 December, CEU confirmed that incoming students would be enrolled in Vienna, after 바카라사이트 Hungarian government failed to sign a deal guaranteeing 바카라사이트?university¡¯s legal status.

Max de Blank, a Dutch master¡¯s student at 바카라사이트 CEU who was helping to organise 바카라사이트 Free University, said that it had been set up to show ¡°what Hungary will be losing when it forces CEU out 바카라사이트 country¡± and prohibits 바카라사이트 teaching of gender studies.
