Join us for an engaging book presentation and workshop with Laura Rahm (European University Institute & Centre Population et Développement, Paris). The afternoon begins with the interactive workshop, The Nuts and Bolts of Academic Book Writing, providing junior researchers and postdocs with practical guidance on turning a dissertation or research project into a book proposal, navigating academic publishing, and developing long-term writing projects. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their own book ideas and projects in an interactive setting.
The event continues with a presentation and discussion of Rahm’s newly published open-access monograph, The Global Governance of Harmful Practices. Drawing on political sociology, demography, and gender studies, the book offers a critical, interdisciplinary perspective on global gender governance and the hidden “knowledge battles” over what counts as a harmful practice.
