3 NOV. 2015. De voorbije decennia namen vrouwen steeds meer typisch `mannelijke' rollen op in onze samenleving. Er gebeurde ook heel wat onderzoek naar deze verschuiving. Mannen in typisch `vrouwelijke' rollen, blijven echter zeldzaam en ook onderzoek rond dit thema blijft achter. Daarom brengt professor Colette Van Laar van 5 tot 7 november onderzoekers van over de hele wereld rond dit thema samen in Leuven.

Keynote speaker op 5 november is de Amerikaan Peter Glick, hij specialiseerde zich in onderzoek naar stereotypering en vooroordelen. Op 6 en 7 november wordt Glick gevolgd door collega's van over de hele wereld.
