The Raoul Wallenberg Institute and the Department of Gender Studies have joined up to facilitate this interesting speak with Nancy Dowd on her book "The Man Question - Male Subordination and Privilege" from 2010. Professor Dowd is a renowned feminist legal scholar from the University of Florida and is currently the 2017 Fulbright-Lund University Distinguished Chair in Public International Law at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law and Lund University.
Professor Dowd's research focuses on social justice issues connected to family law, and therefore touches on not only family law but also juvenile law, constitutional law, race and gender analysis, and social change theories. She is currently engaged in research and writing about a developmental model of equality and focusing on the life course of African American boys from birth to age 18. Two of Professor Dowd’s most recent books focus on the radical reform needed in the juvenile justice system. Justice for Kids (NYU Press 2011) brings together activists and scholars to articulate ways to keep kids out of the juvenile justice system, by diversion into other more helpful and supportive resolutions. A New Juvenile Justice System (NYU Press 2015) articulates the vision of a new youth justice system focused on child well being and public safety. Her other recent book is The Man Question: Male Privilege and Subordination (2010), in which she explores masculinities theories as a means to expand gender analysis and also incorportate other hierarchies that affect gender, particularly race and class. It is the later bookt hat will frame the lecture.
Professor Dowd served as the Director of the Center on Children and Families until 2015, and in that role focused on issues of juvenile justice, social justice, non-traditional families, gay and lesbian rights, and collaboration with the Center for the Study of Race and Race Relations on issues of race and families. While director, she was also involved with successful grants that established the Intimate Partner Violence Assistance Clinic led by Professor Teresa Drake, a groundbreaking collaboration between law and medicine to establish a cutting edge clinic. That work has exposed the importance of trauma informed scholarship and service, and feeds back into Professor Dowd’s current scholarship as well.
Professor Helle Rydström will act as the discussant.

“RESISTANCE IS FERTILE. I believe in crossing the line, not just once, but as many times as it takes to build a bridge we can all cross together.” The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia is celebrated 17 May to commemorate the day that the World Health Organisation decided to remove homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases in 1990. Lund University commemorates it by hoisting the rainbow flag.
Now, more than ever, we humans need to find a way to “Get in the way”, to quote the great civil rights leader, John Lewis. It is essential for our survival and evolution as a species that we develop (and implement) strategies that question, disrupt, disturb and transgress the obligatory social norms we have been force fed since birth. I will argue that we are all damaged by a series of regulatory systems, beginning with the family and the educational environment that not only promotes inequality and injustice from day one but also prepares the ground for a toxic culture where some appear to benefit but all are poisoned from within.
In this presentation/performance I will focus on the norms I transgress on a daily basis through the looking glass of my lived experience, as both a gender non-‐conforming parent and as the rebel child I once was. My goal is to show the radical potential of simultaneous combustion in the spheres of art, activism, academia and everyday life.
Del LaGrace Volcano is a gender variant visual artist and cultural producer working with the body and gender/sexual identity notions for social, political and personal purposes. Volcano has produced five photographic monographs, from LOVE BITES in 1991 to FEMMES OF POWER in 2008 (with Ulrika Dahl) and has been cited and reproduced in numerous publications, journals and books on visual art and queer and feminist theory.

Zeb Tortorici presents a forthcoming book on Duke University Press, Sins Against Nature: Sex and Archives in Colonial New Spain, 1530-1821
This paper analyzes some of the archival implications of the "sins against nature" of sodomy, bestiality, and masturbation in colonial New Spain, between the years of 1530 and 1821. It will emphasise the ways that "unnatural" bodies, acts, and desires come to be documented in the first place, and how they eventually come to be archived. Focusing on three outstanding cases, Dr. Tortirici will look at how the colonial archive itself simultaneously (and paradoxically) makes visible and obscures desires that colonial authorities and the Holy Office of the Mexican Inquisition deemed to be "against nature."
Zeb Tortorici received his Ph.D. in History and is assistant professor of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Literatures at New York University. He recently co-edited Sexuality and the Unnatural in Colonial Latin America (University of California Press, 2016) and two special issues of Radical History Review on the topic of "Queering Archives."

A sustainable circular bioeconomy can contribute to economic growth and social prosperity, while addressing the key global environmental challenges. Growing demand on biomass, however, may challenge the very basis of bioeconomy by the inherent risks of, for example, soil deterioration, loss of biodiversty and food security. At this conference, industry, academia and public organisations will discuss challenges and opportunities across whole biomass value chains.
Bioeconomy can provide substantial benefits while addressing the key global environmental and socio-economic challenges that we are urged to act on over the years to come. It can address the international commitments on sustainable development goals and climate action (COP21 Paris Agreement) by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, diversifying energy sources and ensuring security of supply, in synergy with circular economy promoting alternative bio-based businesses and employment, all of which contributes to economic growth and social prosperity.
While providing these benefits, a future bioeconomy with growing demands on biomass may also generate severe negative impacts on the environment, as well as the socio-economic system, if it fails to ensure sustainable production, supply, consumption and re-use/cycling of biomass. Conversion of ecologically fragile and valuable lands to agriculture, possible CO2 emissions from such conversions, decreased soil quality, loss of biodiversity and food security are among the other potential negative impacts.
Lund University, with broad stakeholder engagement, has recently initiated a unique collaborative learning platform on bioeconomy – the BIOECONOMY inter/trans-disciplinary Graduate Research School – which adopts a systems thinking approach to identify and assess the full range of technological, economic, social and ecological challenges and opportunities in the transition to a circular bioeconomy.
The aim of this conference is to discuss these challenges and potentials for the transition to a circular bioeconomy together with invited local, regional, national and EU level stakeholder representatives from industry, academia, public organisations, NGOs, etc. across the whole biomass value chain.

International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, IDAHOT, was created in 2004 to draw the attention of policymakers, opinion leaders, social movements, media and the general public to the violence and discrimination experienced by LGBTQI people all over the world.
The date, May 17, was chosen to commemorate the World Health Organization’s decision in 1990 to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder. IDAHOT represents an annual landmark to draw attention to the alarming situation faced by lesbian, gay, bisexuals, transgender, intersex people and all those who do not conform to majority sexual and gender norms. It is not a centralised campaign, but rather a moment that everyone can take advantage of to take action. IDAHOT is now celebrated in more than 130 countries, including 37 where same-sex acts are illegal.
The programme for IDAHOT at Lund University is open to anyone who wants to learn more about LGBTIQ.

Understanding the Chinese party-state involves understanding how nearly 90 million people are controlled in a vast bureaucracy. Affecting the behaviour of these people requires a panoply of different rules. Understanding these rules can elucidate for us how the system works. What are the rules governing how actors work together across the party-state system? Which of these rules are binding? How do rules together affect the behaviour of officials, of organisations, and ultimately, of the party-state as a whole? Many of these mechanisms that determine how the Chinese political system functions day-to-day remain unclear. This talk will outline the findings of a long-term research project on the rules of the Chinese system that aims to clarify some of these questions.

Welcome to KINO to see two documentary films connected to water, war and Syria by the filmmaker and anthropologist Joshka Wessels at Lund University. There will also be a preview of her new film. Free entrance but limited number of seats. Tickets can be collected during opening hours at any time before the screening at Kino, Kyrkogatan 3.
Little Waterfall (52 mins.)
Between 1999 and 2004 Joshka Wessels conducted long-term fieldwork in a Syrian village called “Little Waterfall” located at the edge of the Syrian desert in Aleppo province. She documented the rehabilitation of an ancient 2000-year old water tunnel system called Qanat Romani, still in use for irrigation and one of the most sustainable techniques to bring water to the desert.
Nationality Unknown (40 mins.)
A film made between 2011–2014 as part of the project “Hydropolitics in the Jordan Riverbasin”. The Syrian citizens of Majdal Shams and four other villages have been under Israeli occupation since the October war in 1973. Are there any prospects of peace in this area that is inflicted by a protracted military occupation?
Preview of the new film: "The Syrian war and memories of Little Waterfall"
In 2014, Joshka Wessels learned that the village of Little Waterfall is no more. The houses are empty, looted and deserted during the Syrian war. The new film (work in progress) reflects on the memory of Little Waterfall by intersecting contemporary footage of interviews with its former inhabitants who are now Syrian refugees in Germany and the Netherlands.
Tickets can be collected during opening hours at any time before the screening at Kino, Kyrkogatan 3.
Date: May 17th, 2017
Time: 17:00 - 19:00

Join us for a discussion with Nicholas Loubere about the Made in China Yearbook 2016: Disturbances in Heaven, recently published open access by ANU Press. The book launch will be followed by a reception and attendees will receive a free copy of the book.
According to the Chinese zodiac, 2016 was the year of the fire monkey. What better character than Sun Wukong to inspire this inaugural volume of the Made in China Yearbook? In this past year, Chinese workers and activists from all walks of life have struggled under heightened repression by the Chinese party-state, showing remarkable endurance even under these dire circumstances. Through their battles, however small or short-lived, they repeatedly challenged the message of ‘harmony’ put forward by the Chinese authorities, creating ‘disturbances’ in the imaginary heaven engineered by the party-state. All of this is nothing other than proof of the survival of the monkey spirit in Chinese society. Even when trapped under a mountain of repression, or in terrible pain due to the curse of the magic headband of state control, the monkey still manages to briefly wriggle free, reminding us that not all is well, that not everything is predictable.
The yearbook is available free via http://www.chinoiresie.info/made-in-china-yearbook-2016/
Nicholas Loubere is an Associate Senior Lecturer in the Study of Modern China at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies, Lund University. He is the co-chief editor of the website www.chinoiresie.info, and the e-journal Made in China: A Quarterly on Chinese Labour, Civil Society, and Rights.
Registration necessary. Please register for the event via https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/book-launch-for-made-in-china-yearbook-2…

Title: Transnational Child Welfare and Protection Arrangements for Refugee Children
Abstract: Over the last years my research is concerned with understanding how socio-legal services are delivered to, and experienced by, disadvantaged groups of people with the aim to gain knowledge on how to better match services to the needs of people. In this seminar, I will first discuss my previous PhD research on families who are subjected to child welfare and protection processes, and my studies on refugees in the Netherlands. Then, I will present my preliminary thoughts on my current research as a postdoc at the Malmö University on transnational child welfare and protection arrangements for refugee children, a combination of my fields on interest.
My proposed project at Social Work examines (1) how child welfare and protection arrangements are framed, organized and coordinated at a (trans)national level in the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark, (2) implemented at a local level by different service providers to make arrangements for refugee children, and (3) actively shaped, and experienced, by the different stakeholders involved in the different countries.

Title: “Remixed”? Factors affecting intermarriage of multiethnic people
Abstract: This paper analyzes the marriage patterns of multiethnic people in Sweden. Whereas the probability of people from different ethnic groups to intermarry has been widely examined, few researchers have analyzed how parental patterns of intermarriage and intra-marriage may influence their children’s marital choices. The first challenge when looking at mixed-raced or multiethnic people’s marriage patterns is to reach some consensus on what intermarriage means for them. Do they intermarry when they choose partners who do not have identical ethnic or racial backgrounds as themselves? In other words, is a couple comprised of a Swedish-Chilean multiethnic partner and a Chilean partner living in Sweden conceived as being mixed or is it considered as a homogeneous couple? Finally, what other factors affect mixed couples’ choices for intermarrying versus intra-marrying? Based on Swedish register data from 2007 this paper addresses the questions asked above.
