Perspectives médiévales, n° 45   Étudier la culture médiévale permet de défier les théories du genre entièrement enracinées dans la philosophie et la société modernes. Un nombre important d’aspects propres au Moyen Âge, par leur émergence, ont déstabilisé jusqu’aux notions postmodernes d’articulation entre le sexe et le genre. […] Dans les quinze dernières années les médiévistes ont fait avancer le féminisme […] au même titre que les théoriciens contemporains. (M.

AVISA – Historiciser le harcèlement sexuel

Le projet AVISA a été démarré en Octobre 2020 grâce à l’obtention d’un financement émergence de la MSH Paris-Saclay à la fin de nos mandats de chargée de mission parité/ égalité et après avoir monté et animé un dispositif de lutte et de prévention contre les VSS dans nos universités.
