AFTER FEMCIT: a reflection on FEMCIT as a process & experience
Hovedinnhold
How have women’s movements contributed to remaking citizenship in contemporary multi-cultural Europe and what new understandings do we have of citizenship as a multi-dimensional field of rights, responsibilities, participation and belonging?
FEMCIT (2007-2011) was the acronym for the large, EU-funded research project Gendered Citizenship in Multicultural Europe: the Impact of Contemporary Women’s Movements. The project, which was coordinated by the University of Bergen / Uni Rokkan Centre, was completed in March 2011 and was top rated as a successful project by the independent EU-reviewers. Three members of the Project Office who had the major responsibility for the overall scientific management and coordination of this challenging project will reflect on the four year period as a process and on the need to “remake citizenship” based on insights from FEMCIT research. This will be followed by an open discussion.
