Parts of the debate have argued that gender equality in Europe is under threat by increased migration of men from the global south. Other people have sought to contextualize the actions of these men, arguing that this form of violence only takes place in exceptional situations.

One year later, this seminar takes stock of these debates and repositions them in the intercultural encounter by engaging a different set of questions.

What are the experiences of male migrants negotiating their masculinity in a Danish context?

What happens when we change the geographical perspective and look into the politics surrounding sexual harassment of tourists in Egypt or violent exchanges between European expat workers and women in Mozambique?

Does violence happen because of culture clashes? And why does it matter how gender violence is defined?

This seminar will bring these questions to bear on the topic in order to inquire into practical, political and conceptual aspects of gender violence in the intercultural encounter.
