Applications open for the first Gender Lab Workshop in Lisbon, to be held on 13 and 14 November at ISEG
CEsA – Centre for African and Development Studies, within the Research Group Development Studies and Sustainable Transitions of ISEG Research (ISEG/University of Lisbon), is one of the institutional partners of the first Gender Lab Workshop, organised by the Gender Justice Working Group of EADI – European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes. The event will take place on 13 and 14 November 2025, at ISEG – Lisbon School of Economics and Management (Delta Room, 3rd floor of Quelhas – Rua do Quelhas, 6A, 1200-781 Lisbon), and it is also supported by the Research Group Economic Sociology, Organisations, and Work of ISEG Research (SOCIUS/ISEG/University of Lisbon).
Entitled “Activating Gender Justice: From Research to Collective Praxis for Social Change“, the workshop aims to bring together researchers, professionals and activists at different stages of their careers who are engaged in gender justice issues in the Global South. The purpose is to advance an intersectional and transformative understanding of gender within Development Studies, addressing topics such as gender-based violence, women’s roles in care work, political and economic decision-making, entrepreneurship, intersectionality, decolonial feminist methodologies, and the impact of stakeholder initiatives on gendered development outcomes.
With an innovative format, the event will serve as a research-activism lab, offering innovative knowledge-sharing activities like podcast development, visual storytelling, and mentorship clinics, fostering knowledge-sharing, networking and intergenerational collaboration.
