Roundtable on “Women's and LGBT rights in the EU: a model for other regions?” with Faculty Experts
Women's and LGBT rights are said to be held in high regard in the EU and most of its member states. This roundtable explores policies regarding gender and sexuality in Europe and abroad, with a focus on how such policies are promoted, diffused and measured. It will particularly focus on the disparity between women’s and LGBT rights in the Global North as compared to the South, and aims to find ways to improve rights attainment there. It includes experts on gender policies, sexuality and EU policies more generally, in an effort to compare approaches towards sexuality and gender equality.

- Dr. Aimee Kanner Arias, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Political Science, Florida Atlantic University
- Dr. Momin Rahman, Professor of Sociology, Trent University, Canada
- Dr. Susanne Zwingel, Associate Professor, Department of Politics and International Relations, FIU
Moderator: Dr. Markus Thiel, Associate Professor, Politics & International Relations, Director Jean Monnet Center of Excellence, and European & Eurasian Studies Program, FIU
