Women’s Day, March 9

Women’s Day at the Faculty of Political Science and Management is a full-day event combining faculty integration with a dose of substantive discussion. This year’s program is designed as a space for conversation about the strength, agency, and presence of women in academic and everyday life.

We will begin the morning with a self-defense workshop, “The Weaker Sex? Not Necessarily!”, led by trainers from the Yawara Traditional Ju-Jitsu School. We will then invite participants to a shared table for the “what you convey,” led by Agata Gwiazdowska, the author of the podcast, “what you convey.” The afternoon will be devoted to the debate “Women at University: Conversations on the Breaking of the Glass Ceiling,” featuring representatives of academia and public life, including Professor Katarzyna Kołodziejczyk, Dean of the Faculty of Political Science and Management, Dr. Katarzyna Biejat, and Dr. Karolina Zioło-Pużuk. The discussion will focus on challenges, systemic barriers, and real tools for change in the academic community. The discussion will be moderated by Professor Olgierd Annusewicz.

The day will conclude with a discussion titled “Stereotypes, Women, Pop Culture. From Bareja to Memes,” during which we will examine how culture shapes images of women and how these images evolve. Participants will include Professor Agnieszka Rothert, Martyna Harland, and Professor Elżbieta Durys. The discussion will be moderated by Professor Wojciech Lewandowski.

A symbolic toast will be held at the end of the day.

You are cordially invited to participate.
