According to its critics, “gender ideology” has driven the push for a broad range of sexual and reproductive rights, from the legalization of abortion, access to contraception, same-sex marriage, sexual education in schools, non-discrimination bills, access to new reproductive technologies, trans rights, and much more. This event will offer an intellectual history of anti-genderism, which can be traced to various UN conferences in the 1990s, and map the global circulation of the term “gender ideology.” It will also address the ways in which anti-gender politics constitute a threat to democracy through phenomena ranging from radicalization to electoral strategies. |
