Background

In spring 2002, “Euro-Balkan” Institute’s Center for Gender Studies organized the regional seminar “Strategies for curriculum development in Southeastern Europe”. This seminar was a follow-up activity of the first regional HESP supported summer school in gender studies for young faculty from SEE: “Reading the Balkan Subject and Its Genders” (2001). HESP-supported Summer School in contemporary philosophy “Critical Debates in Contemporary Philosophy: Historicism and Difference versus Universalism” (2002), in its greater part devoted to the feminist philosophy, has recruited young gender/women’s studies scholars from Eastern and Central Europe. The regional conference “Strategies for the Gender/Women’s Studies in Southeastern Europe” that took place in February 2004 was organized by the “Euro-Balkan” Center for Gender Studies-Skopje and the Belgrade Women’s Studies Center. Upon the occasion of this Conference, and as its immediate result, The Regional Network for Gender/Women’s Studies in Southeastern Europe has been inaugurated. This Network has already engaged itself in a series of activities that share the general goal of outlining a more recognizable profile of the feminist academic scene in SEE and to the bringing into focus of its regional dimension. The Center for Gender Studies-“Euro-Balkan” Institute has also established a joint program with the University of Skopje in the shape of the inter-institutional Center for curriculum development in gender/women’s studies.
