are pleased to invite you to the 1st International Interdisciplinary Conference:
WOMEN AND MEN FACING EVERYDAY CHALLENGES
WORK AND LIFE DEMANDS IN THE CONTEXT OF GENDER
(Łódź, Poland, 19-21 May 2016)
Thanks to technological progress and social changes, human life now seems to be easier than ever.
Yet, our times abound with dilemmas and confusions related to frequently mutually exclusive requirements
for the fulfillment of social roles. Blurred boundaries between right and wrong, individualism, perfectionism,
the decline of traditional values and the inability to create new and stable ones produce
enormous pressure both on women and men.
It may result in psychological suffering, lack of self-confidence, insecurity and violence.
The conference is aimed to analyze and discuss the following phenomena:
life and work demands and challenges, work-life balance, stress and violence at work and life.
All these problems according to our opinion are not gender-neutral and requires studies and solutions
that take gender perspective into account.
The conference focuses on six main topics:
1. Growing and conflicting expectations of modern parenting
2. Facilitators and barriers in achieving work-life balance
3. Problems of gender equality at work and at home
4. Gender stereotyping and career development
5. Gender perspective on trauma and humiliation
6. Health and well-being of men and women
We encourage psychologists, sociologists, medical doctors, lawyers and anyone interested
in the issue to active participation in the event.
Deadline for abstracts: 29th of February 2016 [register here]
