1. COLLOQUIUM 1: “Epistemologies of Identity Studies: Understanding Transition and Gender in the Region of Southeastern Europe.” This colloquium will identify and explore a) contemporary trends in the field of epistemology of social sciences and humanities b) the processes of transition and its gendered aspects that have marked the last two decades in the region, and c) the applicability of concepts and analysis
approaches that the epistemological models developed within the field of gender studies can provide for analysis of the phenomenon of the transition itself.
