Campus life

The Inalco Foundation, with the support of the Fondation ROTHSCHILD-Institut Alain de Rothschild, is launching a series of lectures on sexual and gender-based violence around the world. Initiated and run by professors in Inalco's "Gender" course, this new cycle also takes the form of a doctoral seminar, validated by Inalco master's students, and may be validated as part of compulsory doctoral training. It brings together gender specialists from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, to enrich and extend the reflection initiated in the "Gender and Sexuality in the World" degree course.
