Berlin 2021
Conference History
In June 2021, the 2nd Global Conference on Women’s Studies pushed the boundaries of what the women’s studies conference could achieve by virtually gathering participants from every corner of the world to network and share research in new and exciting ways. The unique circumstances of GCWS 2021 inspired attendees to engage with one another – in a novel setting, prompting an unparalleled level of interaction, discussion and accessibility. Followed by a Post-Conference Meeting, attendees connected in ways never before possible, explored ideas, and actively learned in a new, online environment.
Keynote Speaker
Dr. Ljupka Naumovska
Dr. Ljupka Naumovska is an Assistant Professor at the world-renowned Rennes Business School in France where she examines the trends and policies that help shape the ever shifting marketing environment. She is a respected educator, consultant and life-long learner. She has spent much of her time making a difference in academia: as an assistant professor and as a visiting lecturer in Universities in Macedonia, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, France and U.S. A significant portion of her nonacademic work is dedicated to consultancy in the field of marketing, branding, political marketing and PR. But Ljupka’s impact goes far beyond the classroom. She is enthusiastically supportive of start-ups that constructively ‘move the planet forward’, and, she is a consistent voice on the need for women to play a much larger role in all aspects of society. As a proud activist and feminist, she is compelled to campaign for gender equality and social justice.
