Context<\/strong><\/h4>

In the mid-nineties of twentieth century, academic staff and theorists in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the help of women organizations, are beginning with informal education and courses with feminist agenda. Non-governmental organization \u017dene \u017eenama launched the project “Women\u2019s studies \u017darana Papi\u0107” in BiH. This project was conceptualized as two- semester study program with the goal to introduce the attendants with the main ideas of women\u2019s studies. International Forum Bosna, in cooperation with feminists, has opened Centre for gender researches in 2002. Within this Centre, there are many programs, workshops and academic debates. One of the results of these debates was a special edition of Magazine of International Forum Bosna, dedicated to feminism and titled Challenges of feminism (in 2004). Jasminka Babi\u0107-Avdispahi\u0107, Jasna Bak\u0161i\u0107-Mufti\u0107, Marina Katni\u0107-Bakar\u0161i\u0107 and Nirman Moranjak-Bambura\u0107 were the editors of this edition. Associates on the both programmes were the professors who have founded the Master’s Program on Gender Studies at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Studies of the University of Sarajevo. This tells a lot about quality of both programs. Until now, there were three generations that graduated on this program. In the academic year of 2013\/14, first generation of PhDs has enrolled in this program.<\/p>

Working methods<\/strong><\/h4>

Modules will be held in a form of lectures with discussions. Interactive and participatory methodology will be applied during the lectures. Students will be motivated to participate in discussions which will follow the lectures. It is expected from students to prepare and read the essays for the lectures from the Reader that will be made for the module. It is also expected that students are ready to participate in discussions. Format of these discussions will change: sometimes participation in discussion will be individual, sometimes in groups. The subject of essays will be chosen in agreement with lecturer of the module.<\/p>

Mission <\/strong><\/h4>

\u017darana Papi\u0107 School of Feminism’s mission is to provide feminist education. This education will encourage people to take responsibility and to act socially through the critically- analytic feminist thinking, responsibility, solidarity and networking. \u017darana Papi\u0107 School of Feminism provides revision and evaluation of dominant knowledge through the interdisciplinary feminist formal, informal and neglected knowledge in order to analyze politic, cultural, social and legal issues, problems and contexts. \u017darana Papi\u0107 School of Feminism acts equally on knowledge production allowing the interaction between science and the different segments of society, as well on encouraging concrete advocacy and activist initiatives in our environment.<\/p>

Our motto<\/strong><\/h4>

\u201cFeminist theory has never been separated from the feminism as a social movement. Feminist theory would have no content if there is no feminism as movement, and movement is always included in theory act in all his different ways and forms. Theory is activity that is not limited on academy. Theory happens every time when there is possibility imagined, when there is collective self-reflection, when there is dispute about values, priorities and language.\u201d (Butler, Judith. Ra\u0161\u010dinjavanje roda. Sarajevo: \u0160ahinpa\u0161i\u0107, 2005. str. 156)<\/p>
