Iméra-AMSE Workshop on Gender Inequalities
January 23, 2024
Venue: AMU-AMSE, 5 boulevard Maurice Bourdet, 13001 Marseille – Amphi
At the core of the rationale is the recognition that gender inequality is a multifaceted problem, rooted in historical, social, and economic contexts. The workshop seeks to situate this challenge within a broader framework, acknowledging the interconnectedness of factors that contribute to disparities between genders. It aims to foster a deeper understanding of the nuanced ways in which gender roles, societal norms, and technological advancements intersect and shape inequalities. By addressing these complexities, this workshop aims to contribute to the development of informed strategies and solutions.
Throughout the workshop, participants will engage with research that spans diverse fields, each shedding light on different dimensions of gender inequality. From the examination of contract farming as a potential bridge for knowledge and productivity gaps to the exploration of historical perspectives on gender wage gaps, discussions will offer a comprehensive view of the challenges at hand. The workshop underscores the importance of collective action and aims to provide a space for dialogue that transcends disciplinary boundaries, fostering collaboration and enriching our collective understanding of gender inequalities.
