[Bilimsel Haber] History / Gender / Migration (Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France)

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

History / Gender / Migration

History / Gender / Migration
International Conference

Venue : Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France

Date : Monday, March 27th - Wednesday, March 29th 2006

Gender history and international migration history have been in recent 
years two
very active and exciting fields of study. Despite some recent works, 
they still
appear however to produce distinct narratives of history. This 
conference aims
to facilitate cross-fertilisation of gender and migration studies. 
Gender allows
us to take a new look at the concepts used by historians of migration, 
and to
revise some of the usual themes. The migrant's experience is structured by
gender, so are the memories and images of migration. Migration policies 
often
differ according to gender, as do migrants' political and social 
activities. In
turn, migration can affect the ways in which gender is defined and acted 
upon,
within the host as well as the home society.
