How do sex, gender and inequality intertwine within today's globalized economies? This day school aims at providing a comprehensive exploration of this topic.
Beginning with an introduction to sex and gender, the day will focus on the concept of intersectionality. A particular emphasis is placed on an intersectional approach that considers the interplay of gender, race and class, dissecting micro-level mechanisms and their impact on societal structures.
Throughout the day, we will deep-dive into some of the greatest challenges experienced by current globalized economy, linked to evolving labour markets, climate change and technology advancement. We will question the role of gender, in primis, but also race and class, in such narratives. We will finally touch upon policy approaches, adopting intersectional lenses and innovative strategies to address and rectify existing inequalities.
By navigating these multifaceted topics, you will gain a nuanced understanding of the complexities inherent in globalized economies and the imperative for intersectional perspectives in crafting inclusive policies.
