Lecture: "Women in Red: Communist Mass Women's Organizations and International Feminism during the Cold War" Workshop: Ethnography, Religion, and Eastern Europe Lecture abstract: This lecture examines the lasting influences of women from the former Eastern Bloc countries on the development of women's movements in Africa. Using ethnographic interviews and archival research, my project is an interdisciplinary exploration of the forgotten links between Africa and Eastern Europe through the lens of women's organizing. During the Cold War, the women's committees in state socialist countries developed rich bilateral relationships with women in many newly independent nations as part of a larger program of political, economic, and cultural exchanges between the "Second World" and the "Third World." Using the case study of the Committee for the Bulgarian Women's Movement (CBWM) and the Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF), the book recuperates the history of international socialist women's activism during the United Nations Decade for Women (1975-1985). Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the Bulgarians engaged in a wide variety of capacity building exercises with African women. These include the hosting of training seminars and courses, the provision of travel stipends for African women to attend international conferences, and the funding of scholarships for African girls to pursue university studies in Bulgaria. By mobilizing women from the developing world, women from the Eastern Bloc may have instigated Cold War competition over which economic system could provide more de facto and de jure equality to women. This was a rivalry that benefitted all women in the long run, whether they lived in the communist, capitalist, or developing worlds. Workshop content; A discussion of ethnographic research methods and the study of religion in postsocialist Eastern Europe. Literature: There are 2 readings for the lecture and 2 for the workshop. These will be circulated to the participants after enrolment. Tento předmět je podpořen projektem CZ.1.07/2.2.00/28.0179 Diverzifikace a systematizace postgraduálního studia na FF UP v Olomouci.
