GeMIC is a new research project exploring the
intersections between "gender, migration and
intercultural interactions in South Europe". GeMIC is
coordinated by the Center for Gender Studies at the
Panteion University, Greece, it involves partners from
Bulgaria, Roumania, Turkey, Macedonia, Spain, Italy
and Cyprus funded by the seventh framework program of
the European Union. As part of the project, an
interactive website has been launched, which will
hopefully function in itself as a space of
intercultural interaction. Rather than simply
publicizing final results, the aim of our website is
to open up the research process as much as possible to
stakeholders, policy makers, academics and the general
public:
Users can publish their own videos on gender,
migration and intercultural interactions in the "Send
us your video" section. Some of them will then be
selected as part of the video documentary that will be
produced at the end of the project.
There is also a blog section where users can debate
issues relevant to the themes explored in the course
of the project.
In the section comment on GeMIC's output, the main
research findings and policy recommendations of the
project will be published in order for users to send
their comments.
The e-library offers bibliographical reference to
policy documents, academic articles and web-sites
relevant to GeMICs tripartite focus.
Finally, GeMIC's interactive map will feature events
and practices related to gender and migration in order
to include different forms of mobilization and
resistance that take place and that may influence
research. Groups or individuals can send us relevant
information and we will publish it on our site. At the
end of the project an alternative map will be produced
based on these practices.
