FEMglocal – Glocal feminist movements: interactions and contradictions is a research project that aims to analyse glocal feminist movements grounded in the Portuguese context, to map feminist activist movements in Portugal, studying their history, their life flows, their internal and external communication dynamics, as well as the interactions and contradictions between the global and the local, the digital and the face-to-face. It intends to contribute to recover the historical memory of social invisibility of feminist movements in Portugal, focusing on social mobilisation, communication and media visibility strategies.

The booklet "History of Feminist Activisms in Portugal", created as part of the FEMglocal project, aims to foster discussion about feminist activisms and gender issues in the public space, particularly in schools, as well as to encourage reflection on the single feminist narrative, deconstructing it, through a logic of situated knowledge. We invite everyone to read it and use it as a pedagogical tool in formal and non-formal educational strategies.

The first episode of the podcast “Feminisms in Action”, developed within the scope of the FEMglocal project and which aims to create a forum for the discussion of issues surrounding glocal feminist activisms (local and global, that take place on the streets and/or online), from a logic of situated knowledge in the Portuguese context, is now available online.
We invite everyone to listen to it.
Coordinated by Carla Cerqueira (PI) and Célia Taborda (Co-PI), the project is hosted by the Centre for Research in Applied Communication, Culture and New Technologies (CICANT), having as partner the Interdisciplinary Centre for Gender Studies (CIEG). FEMglocal is funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) through national funds.
