Ge.M.IC: Gender, Migration and Intercultural Interaction

Ge.M.IC studies “Cultural Interactions in a European Perspective” through a tripartite conceptual and methodological approach, whose aim is to identify links between migration, gender and intercultural interaction, as it is in the meeting place of these three dimensions that some of the most important cultural developments in Europe take place.

Ge.M.IC approaches these questions from a critical perspective emphasizing in particular the impact of migrant mobility and cultural diversity on gender relations in host, transit and sending societies. Research is of an interdisciplinary nature in accordance with the broad range of expertise of the researchers collaborating in the project. The organization of work reflects the inter-ethnic and interdisciplinary character of the consortium focusing both fieldwork and analysis on six thematic areas of study, rather than on national case studies: representations of national identity and the mediaeducationurban social spaces and movementsreligion,violence, and the family. Ge.M.IC generates new and important insights in these thematic areas, taking advantage of the diverse areas of expertise of different researchers and their mutual commitment to studying gender and addressing issues of gender equality as a central aspect of research.
