| Speaker: | Andrea Peto |
OSI’s Network Women’s Program sponsored a talk on neoconservative gender politics in Europe by Andrea Pető, Central European University, Department of Gender Studies.
Based on her interviews with actively engaged female politicians from Hungarian conservative and extreme rightist parties, gender studies scholar and activist Andrea Pető analyzes gender politics, understandings of communism, and contemporary European identity. She explores how different aspects of conservative identity might serve as a site of women’s agency in Europe.
