Christina Fiig: Gender Policies in a Context of (Quasi) Permanent Crisis
May 17, 12:00 PM |
Join the Center for West European Studies and the Jean Monnet EU Center to continue the Talking Gender in the EU Lecture Series, with Christina Fiig on “EU Gender Policies in a Context of (Quasi) Permanent Crisis,”
Christina Fiig听is an Associate Professor at the School of Culture and Society, Section for Global Studies (European Studies), Aarhus University, Denmark,听has authored the paper 鈥淕ender Equality Policies and European Union Policies鈥澨�(Oxford University Press 2020) and co-authored the chapter 鈥淭he Populist Challenge to Gender听Equality鈥� with Birte Sim (Routledge 2021).
Since 2008, the EU has been struggling with the 鈥渋nterrelatedness of the Euro, refugee and Brexit crisis鈥� (Caporaso, 2018), with the rise of populism (Erman & Verdun, 2018), and most recently with the Covid-19 pandemic. There are good reasons to assume that these multiple crises may be here to stay (Dinan, Nugent, & Paterson, 2017), as they are the result of many factors that are at once local, domestic, European, and global (Erman & Verdun, 2018). In this lecture, Dr. Fiig will establish a context of (quasi) permanent crisis as a framework for understanding the contemporary developments in EU gender policies and the rise of rightwing populist parties and voices in the European Parliament.

Passage
May 19 – 21 |
Obie Award-winner Christopher Chen鈥檚 provocative fantasia,听Passage, gently lifts us from our own reality and sets us down in a new place: Country X. Country X has been occupied by Country Y. Country X is allowed its own laws and leaders, but Country Y controls both and has been unfairly abusing its power to mistreat native-born citizens. Chen deftly deploys theatre鈥檚 primal evocative powers to 鈥渞aise questions that make the audience profoundly uncomfortable, but simultaneously creates a welcoming space to which everyone is invited.鈥� (Time Out New York). New Drama faculty member Adrienne Mackey, Artistic Director of Philadelphia鈥檚 Swim Pony, makes her 91爆料 Drama directorial debut.
