Date: 14.10.2011
Place: mission 21, Missionsstrasse 21, Basel (Switzerland)

Description: This conference provides a forum for the roles and positions of women in church and society in African nation states to be analysed and discussed primarily from a women’s and gender perspective. The first main objective is to foster awareness and distinct perceptions relating to processes of social transformation. The second key aim is to bring together academics, practitioners and interested individuals both from African countries, Switzerland and Germany to share topicrelated ideas, problems, experiences and prospects for future collaboration.

"Let's think about sex": Obsessions of the modern Catholic sexual morality, "good" sex
Date: 5 - 6 October 2011
Place: Frankfurt am Main
Description: Think about sex. That is the task of this conference.
Religions and Masculinities en Las Américas
Date: 29.09.2011 and 30.09.2011
Place: Torhaus der Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek, Raum S01, Krummer Timpen 3-5, Münster (Germany)
Description :To focus on masculinities inevitably requires taking the relationality of the category gender seriously and conducting an intersectional power analysis wherein religion again is conceptualized as a tremendously important socio-political factor among others. We would like to explore on the one hand the meaning of religion in the construction of masculinities and the impact of masculinity concepts on religion and religious institutions on the other. Considering migration, exchange, and transfer among cultures, ideas, and institutions in twentieth-century Americas – a geographical space, which is both marked by violent imbalances of power as by subtle forms of hegemony – will achieve analytical acuity, if it is guided by questions on the nexus of gender and religion. At the conference, we would like to discuss different approaches, hoping to develop further conceptual ideas.
