Description:
A live Webinar by KIT (The Royal Tropical Institute) and the UN Women Training Centre will discuss Feminist pedagogies and training for gender equality: a paradox? Trainers Maitrayee Mukhopadhyay, Franz Wong and Leticia Berrizbeitia will discuss tensions in gender training using the Professional Development Programme for Gender Trainers as an illustration of how such paradoxes may arise and how they can be navigated. This event will also act as an informative session on the Programme that is currently receiving applications for its second edition.
Two sessions will be held on Wednesday 6 June 2018 (7:30 a.m. AST and 10:00 a.m. AST) to discuss what makes the principles of feminist pedagogies feminist? Especially when they can be applied in training in ways that contradict gender justice and social transformation. Moreover, if gender training intends to disrupt dominant understandings of “gender”, how does this harmonise with what is commonly understood as feminist pedagogies?
