Between the months of October and December, the UC Cultural Campus Agenda hosts a hundred activities “in which it means doubling our offer compared to other quarters and taking up the pulse with all our audiences, with a demanding program designed to encourage debate on the main issues that interest society”, in the words of the Vice-Rector for Culture, Social Outreach and Institutional Relations, Tomás Mantecón.

The
Isabel Torres Interdisciplinary Classroom for Women and Gender Studies announces a new edition of the Isabel Torres Prize for Research in Women’s and Gender Studies, endowed with 2,000 euros. Biennial in nature, it aims to recognize the originality, value and academic rigor of the research that uses the methodologies and interpretive tools developed by its field of action.

The program includes the cycle ‘Women, rights and protest in the Spanish 20th century’, which will analyze the intervention of women in the practice of protest and collective action during the last century. With this, it seeks to deepen, on the one hand, in their degree of participation when expressing the discomfort and aspirations of the citizenry; and, specifically, theirs as a group traditionally discriminated against. And, on the other, to propose the development of own practices and discourses, examining whether these have been defined based on the categories and realities linked to gender. With the aim of offering a panoramic vision, but under a chronological approach, the speakers will successively address the issue in the first decades of the 20th century, during the Franco regime and in the period of transition to democracy.
