[Euromixproject.rch] Expert meeting Mixedness in Postcolonial Europe - Programme and registration

[Schrijvers, L.L. (Lieke)]

Dear colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce the preliminary programme for the expert meeting 'Exploring Mixedness in Postcolonial Europe: Interdisciplinary Approaches', organised at KU Leuven on 20-22 March 2024.

The international and interdisciplinary expert meeting brings together speakers from religious studies, theology, law, history and anthropology, as well as from different geographical contexts. It explores how the meaning of 'mixedness', as well as reception, representations and lived experiences, change depending on the (historical, legal, contemporary) context, thus reflecting on mixed families in relation to broader European and postcolonial frameworks of difference. The conference is a result of a collaboration of the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, KU Leuven, and the Centre for Research on Culture and Gender, Ghent University, hence attention will be given to (intersections of) religion and gender in mixed couples and their families. The focus of the meeting is on exchange and conversation. You find the programme attached as a pdf to this email, please note that this may be subject to change.

You are kindly invited to join the expert meeting. Registration for speakers is now closed, but you can register as attendee through our website: https://theo.kuleuven.be/en/conference-exploring-mixedness

We look forward to three inspiring days in Leuven!

On behalf of the organising committee: prof. dr. Marianne Moyaert, prof. dr. Katrien de Graeve, dr. An van Raemdonck, Deniz Aktaş,
