Dear Students,

The American Studies Center at the University of Warsaw invites submissions for the international conference Anti-gender campaigns and the politics of knowledge production, to be held on 11–12 December 2025 in Warsaw, Poland.

This conference will explore the impact of anti-gender movements on academia, education, media, and cultural production, as well as their intersections with struggles around critical race theory, climate research, medicine, and the arts. We welcome both theoretical and empirical contributions across disciplines and contexts.

Submission guidelines:

  • Please submit a 200-word abstract and a short bio (max. 100 words)
  • Send submissions to: antigender2025@gmail.com
  • Deadline: 1 November 2025

The conference is free of charge and will provide coffee breaks, lunches, and a conference dinner. A limited number of stipends are available for early-stage or independent researchers to support travel and accommodation.

Organized as part of the Horizon Europe CCINDLE Project in cooperation with the Polarization Research Group.

November 7, 2025

Parki narodowe w Stanach Zjednoczonych to miejsca o statusie niemal mitycznym. Obecne są wszędzie: od tekstów przyrodniczych, przez literaturę i filozofię, aż po popkulturę.
