Feministizising policymaking in practice: How gender and politics scholarship inspires government policy, and vice versa.

Monday 8 July 2024, 17:00 – 18:30 CET
UFO, Auditorium Leon De Meyer.

Tània Verge

If a Ministry of Equality and Feminisms were created from scratch in the government of your country or region, would you accept leading it?

By weaving together practical and academic experience, this plenary keynote aims to transcend the conventional boundaries between theory and practice, fostering a holistic understanding of gender and politics. More specifically, the keynote will focus on the extent to which insights from gender and politics scholarship, particularly from feminist institutionalism, have been useful for instituting feminist policies from this new portfolio.

Tània Verge is Full Professor of Politics and Gender at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona), where she led the Equality Unit between 2014 and 2021. Her research focuses on how political parties and parliaments are patterned through gender and on resistance to the adoption and implementation of equality policies.
