Bienvenido
Senior Fellow CALAS-CELA
This winter semester 2024/25, the Kassel Centre for Latin American Studies CELA and CALAS welcome the Argentinian senior fellow Prof. Dr. Eleonor Faur. As a sociologist, the renowned professor works in the interdisciplinary field of care, an area of work that offers numerous points of contact in Kassel. Prof. Frau offers an English-language block seminar on the subject for various degree programmes.
In addition to her academic work, Prof. Faur has worked on gender and human rights issues in international organisations such as the UN, UNICEF and UNFPA. She has specialised in the following topics: 1) ‘Reproductive activities, care and their social and political organisation’ 2) ‘Sexual education in its social impact’.
For Prof. Dr Faur, these two topics are linked by the insight that political and social rights, intersectionality and intergenerational policies are of central importance for the analysis of institutional dynamics and the promotion of gender policies. Reproductive activities continue to be an important building block for personal and social well-being and for sustainable development.
With the invitation of Prof. Faur, CELA and CALAS are continuing their international fellowship programme, which invites experts on various socially relevant topics from Latin America to Kassel every year until 2024.
Lecture by Prof. Dr. Faur: ‘The political and social organisation of care in Latin America: a gender perspective’.
- Date and time: Thursday, 24 October to 5 December 2024, between 14:00 and 18:00
- Address: Möncheberg 1, room 4003.
- You can find the seminar under the following code (FB05.POL.96).
