糖心TV

Prof Andrei Markovits is at 糖心TV as a Visiting Fellow in IAS. In this seminar he will talk about the opposite paths that women have traversed in the game of Association Football on both sides of the Atlantic. Whereas the women in North America entered a field that was virtually open for them since men busily covered the playing fields and cultural space of the hegemonic team sports of baseball, football (American and Canadian), basketball and ice hockey; their European counterparts were forced to contest what has arguably been the most male-dominated space in European public life throughout much of the 20th century. Both of these roads harbored immense obstacles. Both entailed challenges of their own that these pioneering women had to overcome. However, spurred by the massively important and popular World Cup tournaments, the last three decades have led to a rapprochement of developments on both sides of the Atlantic by catapulting women's soccer onto hitherto unexpected, maybe even unimaginable heights.

He has written a book on the subject.

Andy is the Karl W Deutsch Collegiate Professor of Comparative Politics and German Studies and an Arthur F Thurnau Professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

All are welcome to this seminar. Drinks and nibbles will be available afterwards. No registration necessary.

Join us for our CSWG Annual Lecture, co-sponsored by the Department of Politics and International Studies. The Annual Lecture will feature the renowned feminist scholar, Professor Cynthia Enloe, discussing one of the key contemporary movements of transnational feminist activism, #MeToo.

"What are the International Politics of #MeToo?"

Cynthia Enloe (Clark University)

Abstract:

#MeToo is treated chiefly as a local gendered phenomena, country by country, industry by industry. What do we who are seeking to make sense of diverse international politics have to learn from taking seriously #MeToo about the ways in which local dynamics shape and reshape international power? What does #MeToo tell us about the relevance of misogyny to international politics?

This event is free and open to all (no registration required), and will be followed by a wine reception.
