September 15-17th:
1-Migration, Feminism
and the Sex Industry
Lecture/Workshop
University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
15/16/17 September 2010
Open to PhD students, researchers and post-docs in
gender studies
in Switzerland.
Compulsory Registration Deadline: 15 August 2010.
Migration has transformed feminists’ ideological conflict about the
meaning of prostitution. From being a two-sided debate about whether
’sex work is work’ or ‘violence
against women’, the discussion now must consider migration
policies that favour ‘highly skilled’, white-collar and technical
professionals over those willing to take less prestigious jobs in the
informal sector, including the sex industry.
Researchers working in the realm of migration and sex work and wishing
to present a paper (15 minutes, followed by a 30 minutes discussion) are
asked to send a title and abstract before 15 August to: Janine.dahinden

2- Migration and Globalization: Gendered Perspectives
MA course open to all students in gender studies in Switzerland
University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
Maximum 40 participants (5
ECTS)
November 3-5, 2010
What does globalisation mean in terms of people’s movements across
borders? Who leaves home and why? How do ideas about
Gender Equality
help us understand undocumented migration and illegal jobs? What are
human
trafficking and smuggling?
(Compulsory information meeting: 20 September. Texts and references
will be given, that students will be asked to read before the
workshop.)
