What can genderqueer analytic approaches and cultural anthropology interested in studying Europeanization learn from each other? How can the potentials of this conversation be explored and advanced, especially through ethnographically-grounded discussions?

These questions will be at the focus of the Fishbowl organized to “think Europe queer” by the dgv Commission for Women’s and Gender Studies and the dgv Commission Europeanization_Globalization: Ethnographies of the Political.
