GENDERCOM is an annual academic conference that brings together over one 
hundred scholars from various disciplines to discuss gender studies with 
a particular emphasis on communication. The 11th edition, jointly 
organized by the University of Enna "Kore" and the University of 
Palermo, will address cultural and social dimensions of gender 
construction and representation.

The conference will also focus on issues of rights, violations, power 
asymmetries, sexuality, reproduction, bodies, and sports. Special 
attention will be paid to contemporary tensions between binary gender 
definitions and the recognition of a broader gender spectrum, including 
LGBTQIA+ rights and inclusivity.

The event is promoted by the Research and Transfer Network in 
Communication and Social Sciences (INTRACOM) and co-organized by the 
University of Seville and Sapienza University of Rome.
