搁茅蝉耻尘茅
[En anglais seulement] To聽understand gender in the study of contemporary federalist structures, this lecture distinguishes聽formal from informal institutions and theorizes the role that聽social movements can play聽in聽furthering gender equality. The aim is to contribute an intersectional approach to the study of gender and federalism that takes into account both the importance of informal institutions and the role of activism in sparking change towards greater gender equality.聽
