Conference and Workshop Series

MKGD-ZMSBw Workshop and Conference Series

 

The annual international MKGD-ZMSBw conference of the Research Network on Military, War and Gender/Diversity (MKGD) together with the Bundeswehr Centre of Military History and Social Sciences (ZMSBw) are intended to provide a place for exchange on important topics of interdisciplinary and international gender research on military, war and violence. Doctoral students will be involved as speakers and co-discussants, as well as experienced national and international scholars. The languages of presentation and discussion will be English.

The two-day thematic conferences are organized together with experts from the MKGD research network and other cooperation partners. One or two internationally renowned scholars will be invited to give keynote speeches in advance. The remaining contributions will be solicited through proposals from cooperation partners of the MKGD research network and a call for papers. The contributions should not be longer than 20 minutes.

In addition, we start to organize shorter international MKGD-ZMSBw Online Workshops  together with cooperation partners on specific subjects.

The workshops/conferences are organized in cooperation with the  Bundeswehr Centre of Military History and Social Sciences  (ZMSBw) and other cooperation partners in the MKGD research network. The ZMSBw generously supports the organization of the workshops and covers part of the costs.
