[Konferencija] Životi vredni pomena: neispričane priče (ShoahLab)
Drugi put za poslednje tri godine, godišnja konferencija WHISC-a (Women in the Holocaust International Study Center) organizuje se u partnerstvu sa ShoahLab-om, Laboratorijom za izučavanje Holokausta Instituta za filozofiju i društvenu teoriju Univerziteta u Beogradu. Ovogodišnja konferencija nosi naziv Lives Worth Living: The Untold Stories i biće održana od 20. do 22. oktobra 2025. godine. Cilj konferencije teži podsticanju naučnoistraživačkog dijaloga u području interdisciplinarnog prepleta studija Holokausta i studija roda, sa posebnim fokusom na živote i iskustva žena tokom Holokausta. Ovogodišnja konferencija stavlja naglasak na istraživanja koja se bave ženama na prostoru Jugoslavije, što je tema koja je i dalje nedovoljno zastupljena u međunarodnom akademskom kontekstu.
Konferencija će okupiti oko 30 izlagača i izlagačica iz Francuske, Nemačke, Izraela, Italije, Poljske, Srbije, Švedske i Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, pružajući dragocenu priliku za razmenu perspektiva, predstavljanje istraživačkih nalaza i uspostavljanje novih saradnji u oblasti studija Holokausta. Tokom tri dana, sedam tematski osmišljenih panela obuhvatiće širok spektar tema: od rodno uslovljenog nasilja i uloga lekarki tokom Holokausta, preko ličnih svedočanstava i životnih priča, do otpora žena, njihovog života u zatočeništvu, kao i umetničkog i književnog stvaralaštva oblikovanog ženskim iskustvom preživljavanja.
