This page documents key workshops, conferences, and roundtables organised by RC19 and its collaborators over time. These events have provided an important forum for advancing research on gender and politics, fostering international scholarly exchange, and supporting emerging and established researchers. Spanning multiple regions and themes, they reflect the evolving agendas of the field, from women’s movements and representation to intersectionality, nationalism, and contemporary global challenges. Together, they illustrate RC19’s sustained role in convening critical debate and shaping scholarly and professional networks in gender and politics.
