This annual meeting will serve as a forum to assess the progress of our collective comparative research agenda. The Action’s central aim is to analyse how anti-gender mobilizations unfold across Eastern and Central Europe (ECE) and the Near and Middle East (NME) — and to trace both region-specific dynamics and transregional linkages. We therefore particularly welcome contributions that draw explicit comparisons, identify cross-regional patterns, or explore conceptual and methodological approaches to comparison between ECE and NME contexts.

Call for participation
The RESIST project seeks to foster and amplify ongoing resistances to 'anti-gender' politics, including through social movement organising, knowledge production, advocacy, and grassroots communities.
For RESIST's final conference, we invite proposals for presentations and workshops that share insights about queer feminist experiences of, and resistances to, 'anti-gender' mobilisations. This space will seek to foster a meaningful cross-national, cross-sectoral, and interdisciplinary dialogue on 'anti-gender' politics and queer-feminist resistances.
