This is the first whole weekend-long Concept Workshop, and it takes place at the university Biological station at Lammi. The weekend-long workshop provides a possibility of engaging in intensive concept analysis on texts, together, as planned originally when project was drafted. As in all concept workshops, we will focus in the analysis on the use of the concepts ‘people’, ‘majority’ and ‘minority’ in particular texts. For analysis we have selected texts from all categories 1) anti-gender agents 2) academic research on anti-gender 3) anti-gender critical activists 4) EU politics against anti-gender. In this first long workshop, we will experiment and engage in analysis of texts with aim to find productive ways of working on them, in practice. In addition we will further discuss our conceptual history inspired method. We will also discuss on the progress of the PhD project, in particular the article manuscript in process.
