The Greek Community of Melbourne is holding a panel discussion entitled Sexism, Misogyny and the Migrant Woman, at the Greek Centre (Mezzanine, 168 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne), on Thursday 17 March, at 7 pm, as part of the Greek History and Culture Seminars.
Facilitators are Prof Joy Damousi and Dina Gerolymou, and panelists: Melina Mallos, Fotini Kypraios, Anatoli Amanatides, and Alkistis Pitsaki.
This panel discussion will examine notions of sexism and misogyny in relation to migrant women in Australia. Drawing from their experiences and those of Greek women in Australia from past generations, the four panelists will look into the absence of migrant women voices from the current public discourse, the biases and stereotypes that persist, and the new faces of sexism and misogyny. It will also delve into the limited voices and, in many cases, exclusion of CALD women from the public discussion, and even institutions, in an era dominated by diversity.
