The congress sets out to explore aspects of the interweaving of femininity with social, political, cultural and linguistic dynamics in the Caribbean, pursuing three goals in particular:

1. To analyze recent studies on the social, political and economic challenges women are facing in different local communities and how they are dealing with them.
2. To discuss the variety of female activities and gender roles in contemporary societies as expressed in cultural manifestations, institutional protection, political interventions, and educational practices.
3. To explore the intersection of women’s multiple identities and positionalities, including their international networks.

Contributions from all humanities and social sciences are appreciated, provided that they cover the topic of women in the Caribbean with respect to the topics outlined above and that they relate to transdisciplinary discussions.

Please submit your abstract (up to 400 words in English, French or Spanish) no later than September 30, 2024, to socare-conference@caribbeanresearch.net.
