<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">It is my pleasure to announce the preliminary
<span class="spelle">programme</span> for the expert meeting ‘Exploring Mixedness in Postcolonial Europe: Interdisciplinary Approaches’,
<span class="spelle">organised</span> at KU Leuven on 20-22 March 2024.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">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
<span class="spelle">programme</span> attached as a pdf to this email, please note that this may be subject to change.
