On February 24, 2021, Dr Lorena Sosa (SIM), Dr mr. Alexandra Timmer LLM (SIM) & Dr Kathrin Thiele (Gender Studies & Critical Theory) organize a workshop on “Critical Views on Stereotypes: An Interdisciplinary Conversation” in the framework of the Gender & Diversity Hub. This interdisciplinary workshop engages in queer, anti-racist, decolonial and anti-hegemonic discussions on (gender) stereotypes and stereotyping. It incorporates academic and non-academic voices, and it aims to bring together interdisciplinary and intersectional views to problematize the current and predominant approaches to the issue of stereotyping.

The event exists out of three sessions:

The first session, “Understanding stereotypes across disciplines”, is dedicated to a multi-perspectival and cross-disciplinary discussion helping us to critically address stereotypes and stereotyping. Speakers include Lourdes Peroni (Sheffield Hallam ľ�ϸ���Ӱ��), Sophie Withaeckx (Maastricht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ��), Ochy Curiel (Universidad Nacional de Colombia).

The second session, “Stereotyping of bodies”, explores the representations and stereotyping of bodies in relation to aspects such as sexualities, race, abilities, aesthetics, and inquires collectively into their socio-political consequences. Speakers include R. Lucas Platero (Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona) & Yofi Tirosh (Tel Aviv ľ�ϸ���Ӱ��/Sapir Academic School of Law).

The final session, “Wrap-up and thinking ahead”, offers the opportunity to mull over the discussions during the previous sessions and plan future collaborations.
