This 2th Areal Studies Day, carried by the Areal Studies unit (UAR2999) for the GIS Asia, African Studies, MOMM and DISTAM, is organized this year with the GIS Institut du Genre, and in collaboration with the GIS Institut des Amériques.

This study day intends to reflect on the intersections between gender studies and areal studies. This research raises specific issues and challenges that deserve examination, in view of the vitality of the work and the questions explored.

What are the specificities of gender studies in areal contexts? What does decentering through foreign fields allow? What approaches, tools and methods are involved? What are the epistemological issues involved? How should we think about our relationship with sources and fieldwork? How can these cross-cutting perspectives help to renew research topics? The day's discussions, which are intended to stimulate further reflection, will be organized around three roundtables bringing together specialists in different areas and in gender studies, established researchers and representatives of young research, who will explore these questions together in three cross-cutting roundtables.
