The lecture series “Somebody Said Feminism?” will be closed with a panel discussion on the theme “Feminism and (In)formal Education.” Introductory speakers will be Dr. Zlatiborka Popov Momčinović, MA in gender studies Nermina Trbonja, and MA in gender studies Aida Spahić.

About the panel: While feminist theory and the feminist movement was enswathed, it became obvious that education is presupposition for women to present their abilities and to become more independent, as well as to more equally participate in the political life, meaning the creation of political subjects and political power. Instead of becoming a empowerment tool and a basis of further political enactment of women, education becomes a way of reproduction of the existing patriarchal discourse of power.

Can education become a place of its de(con)struction? Can education in any way let (in) the voice of feminism? Is there a place for feminism in classrooms? What are the positions and perspectives of female and gender studies in (non)formal education? – are some of the questions that will be reconsidered within the panel discussion ‘Feminism and (In)formal Education.’
