The symposium will explore emerging challenges and the evolving landscape of gender research, including perspectives from law, communications, health and social policy, gender studies and economics. The convergence of these disciplines offers unique insights, enriching the policy discourse and reframing long-standing paradigms of gender roles and relationships. The symposium will cover a range of topics, from global development and public health to workplace practices and gender inequalities in the labour market as well as discussing legal concepts and media representations of women and work.
