Gender, (in)equalities and inclusion

About

With the aim of discussing topics related to social and health vulnerabilities, the School of Health (ESS) and the School of Business Sciences (ESCE) of the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal(IPS), in partnership with the Interdisciplinary Centre for History, Cultures and Societies (CIDEHUS), are organizing the 7th International Seminar on Social Vulnerabilities and Health, under the theme “Gender, (dis)equalities and inclusion”, which will take place on May 29, 30 and 31, 2025, in an online format.
The 7th Social Vulnerabilities and Health Seminar, this year under the theme “Gender, (dis)equalities and inclusion”, proposes a comprehensive and multifaceted analysis of how gender relations intersect with health, work and economic opportunities. The aim is to explore the various forms of inequality that affect the health and well-being of women and men, while also considering issues of race, social class, sexual orientation and gender identity. The seminar aims to be a space for dialog and debate, bringing together researchers, health professionals, activists and representatives of civil society to identify challenges, share experiences and build innovative solutions that promote gender equity and inclusion in all dimensions of life.
In this 7th edition, as usual, the seminar includes thematic panels with national and foreign speakers in order to give the seminar an international perspective, with the aim of expanding participation to new national and international authors with free papers in the seminar's thematic areas.
This seminar is conceived as a space for interdisciplinary debate between History, other Social Sciences and Health, on the issues in question, their actors and the social and political intervention around them. The aim is for researchers and other professionals from various areas of knowledge, both national and international, to share their research and/or intervention practices.
