In just over a weeks time our global community of Women's & Gender History scholars will be meeting in Tokyo for the IFRWH conference 🤩 See the conference programme here👇#twitterstorians#WomensHistory#GenderHist https://t.co/cDSk5LkXPm
Our Advocacy and Research team, along with our volunteer academics, participated in the symposium organized by the @IFRWH_FIRHF in Japan, ahead of the 6th International Women and Justice Summit that we will hold this year with the theme of AI and Women.
In the third @IFRWH_FIRHF keynote, Kumie Inose outlined how new trends in Japanese research on European gender history, esp. agnotology & memory, challenge male Eurocentric narratives & engage w/ translations of major works on intersectionality, human rights & settler colonialism
