Since the late 18th century, scientific tools have been fabricated for
sexualizing the objects of the world, universalizing gendered cosmologies, and ontologizing gendered binary codes.
Gender Studies has not only fiercely challenged these binary constructions, but at times also participated in their naturalization. Increasingly however, critical approaches to Gender Studies have contributed to fruitful reflections upon the methodologies and assumptions that define research in different disciplines, including Gender Studies itself, by probing the notions of gender and of knowledge.
Gendered Ways of Knowing?, a conference organised by the Fondazione Bruno Kessler in collaboration with the Centre for Gender Studies and the Faculty of Arts of the University of Trento, focuses on the epistemology of the category "gender" in multi- and inter-disciplinary perspectives, discussing both research and research politics.
Keynote speakers are, among others, Barbara Duden (Univ. of Hannover), Sandra Harding (UCLA), and Catherine Vidal (Institut Pasteur, Paris).
