Care society and life policies
Platform for Social Dialogue: Rights, Violence and Gender Equality
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic | Autonomous University of Santo Domingo
20 and April 21 2023
From April 20 to 21, the Paraninfo of the Faculty of Humanities of the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, is the venue for the forum “ Society of care and policies of life”.
It is proposed as a multi-stakeholder space for the open and dynamic exchange of ideas and experiences related to care, approached from different perspectives. Multiple activities will be developed: dialogue sessions, an International Postgraduate School on Care with a Gender Perspective, in-person workshops, and the presentation of audiovisual materials. The dialogues are designed as spaces for exchange and conversation, where key themes will be presented to stimulate debate on the Forum's central topic among a diverse group of participants, including researchers, public policymakers, and members of social organizations.
The Society of Care and Policies of Life Forum is part of the Platform for Social Dialogue "Rights, Violence and Gender Equality", which CLACSO is promoting for the coming years.
20 Thursday April Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences, Autonomous University of Santo Domingo
The International Postgraduate School on Care with a Gender Perspective , an intensive, in-person postgraduate training program with a comparative and regional focus, aims to provide theoretical and practical tools for understanding the relationship between gender and care, and its main conceptual debates and tensions. This training is expected to contribute to the design and analysis of public policies, enabling students to make contributions that integrate a gender perspective into the field of care.
The School's activities are free of charge (transportation, accommodation, and food will not be covered).
To pass, you must complete four consecutive and mandatory workshops (April 20) and participate in the forum activities (April 21). Digital certificates of participation will be issued (CLACSO).
