Teaching Gender. Theory and society in the classroom
Now more than ever, gender as an analytical concept is being heavily contested from diverse quarters inside as well as outside academia. The panel discussion addresses key questions of how to teach gender as critical theory in the light of current societal and political tensions on the one hand and institutional constraints inside the university on the other hand. How can we teach “critique”? What does teaching gender mean in terms of methods and topics? And how can we engage in critical research and teaching while responding to societal expectations as to relevant output and knowledge transfer?

Henri Seyrig conference (1895-1973)
Henri Seyrig est étudiant à Oxford en 1914 lorsqu’éclate la guerre. Il s’illustre sur le front de l’Est puis rejoint l’armée d’Orient en Macédoine en 1917. Dès lors passionné par la Grèce, il entre à l’Ecole d’Athènes en 1922 et effectue trois voyages en Syrie entre 1924 et 1928. Directeur des Antiquités de Syrie et du Liban sous mandat français entre 1929 et 1941, il organise les fouilles archéologiques du temple de Bel à Palmyre, du Krak des Chevaliers et du sanctuaire d’Héliopolis à Baalbek. Il encourage l’installation de nombreuses missions étrangères (dont, à Doura Europos, M. Rostovtzeff, Université de Yale). En 1946, la fin des mandats français le conduit à créer l’Institut français d’archéologie à Beyrouth dont il est directeur de sa fondation à 1967. Cette carrière grecque et syrienne a fait d’Henri Seyrig l’un des pères de l’archéologie du Proche-Orient.
