The aim is to be inclusive and wide-ranging, while also providing a rigorous framework of analysis. Special attention will be given to the issue of the next generations of women's, gender and feminist studies practitioners. Issues related to the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural structure of contemporary Europe will be high-lighted.
