L’appello perché si reinserisca il Corso di Studi di Genere nell’offerta formativa dell’Università della Calabria [Leggi QUI (l’appello in italiano) e invia la tua adesione a vogliamostudidigenere@grrlz.net] in lingua inglese e spagnola. Fateli girare nei contesti accademici che conoscete e ovunque abbiate voglia di raccontare come in Italia si considerano queste materie. Ovunque esista qualcun@ che voglia chiedere la riapertura del Corso in Calabria e che voglia raccontare altrove in che miseria culturale di priorità viviamo.
ENGLISH
The University of Calabria (a Southern region of Italy) has decided to close down the course of Gender Studies taught by Laura Corradi, the only course of its kind taught at this university. The news cannot leave us indifferent. Students say no, we say no, every person who knows how crucial is the existence of such a course, especially in the South, say no.
This story has to do with all of us. It’s no personal matter, but a political issue, which clearly points at the position to which gender issues are relegated in times of economic cuts.
We call everybody to imagine gender studies classes in the street, in the cities where this is possible; classes that speak about what is lacking in the universities and articulate knowledges generally left at the margins.
We must say very clearly that we don’t like this decision. We do so also with this call.
We demand the course of Gender Studies to be reintegrated in the curriculum of the University of Calabria. We want courses of Gender Studies in every university.
