As a group of researchers from Turkey/located in different countries we received seed funding from the Swedish Institute to run the international collaborative project: #GenderStruggles: Building Community Resilience via Creativity and Digital Media. The project is co-hosted by the Raul Wallenberg Institute in Sweden and Sabanci University Gender and Women’s Studies Center of Excellence (SU Gender) in Turkey and aims to create digital platforms for the exchange of best practices, knowhow, and expertise among feminist and LGBTI+ activists/activist-scholars in Turkey and Sweden to promote resilience in the face of anti-gender mobilizations. Humboldt University Berlin, Center for Comparative Research on Democracy adjoins the project in collaboration with SU Gender to reach out to activists/activist-researchers in Germany.
As SU Gender, we are organizing an international webinar series on sexual harassment, gender based violence, diversity and inclusion within and outside the university.

GEARING Roles project's second annual conference will be organized by Sabancı University Gender and Women's Studies Center of Excellence on November 9-10-11 under the title "Gender and Leadership in Higher Education and Research". As Leadership is one of the key areas we work on as we design and implement Gender Equality Plans (GEPs), we hope to discover what leadership with a gender equality perspective means from academic and civil society perspectives. Throughout the conference we will bring together feminist civil society leaders from Turkey, GEP implementing university representatives, and higher education and research institution leaders from around Europe. The conference will take place with online panels, roundtable discussions and a digital activism workshop for university students. By organizing this conference as the GEARING Roles project, we aim to create a space for knowledge and experience exchange for a better understanding of what leadership for gender equality should look like.
