Join us for a two-day workshop co-sponsored by the Kabak Endowment Fund and the Global Studies Center at the University of Pittsburgh that focuses on gendered experiences of moving, especially the changes, challenges, and conflicts that women encounter and the ways that they address them. Bringing together scholars from out of town with local academics and activists, the event will go beyond the tendency to treat cross-border migration and refugee resettlement in relative isolation from gentrification and displacement and will relate developments in North America and the wider world to the particular ways people in Pittsburgh are experiencing these varied kinds of moving and the relationships among them.
