Monday 6 November at ULB: “A Gendered history of democracy: Men and politics in 20th century Europe”, a lecture by Martin Conway (University of Oxford)

On November 6, three ULB research centers – Atelier Genre(s) et Sexualité(s), Mondes Modernes et Contemporains and the Centre interdisciplinaire d’étude des religions et de la laïcité – welcomed Martin Conway, Professor of Contemporary European History at the University of Oxford.

Invited with the support of the Fondation Wiener-Anspach, Professor Conway gave a lecture titled “A Gendered history of democracy: Men and politics in 20^th century Europe”.

His research has been principally concerned with European history from the 1930s to the final decades of the 20^thcentury. He is the author of several books on the history of Belgium and on the wider political history of Europe in the 20^th century. He has recently begun a new project on Political Men, which seeks to problematise the forms of male political citizenship which have developed in Europe across the 20^th century.
