Visiting Scholars
Bank of Montreal Visiting Scholar in Women's Studies for the academic year 2017-2018
In 1992, the Bank of Montreal established a Women's Studies Scholars Program at the University of Ottawa to encourage research that would have direct positive impacts for women. Since that time, the Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies has conducted an annual competition offering the opportunity to a feminist researcher having completed her or his Ph.D. to pursue his or her studies in an interdisciplinary, multicultural and bilingual environment, while sharing the research results with the university community.
The Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies is pleased to announce that Dr. Nena Mocnik has been selected as the 2017-2018 Bank of Montreal Visiting Scholar in Women’s Studies.
Dr. Nena Močnik is a postdoctoral researcher at Turku Institute for Advanced Studies and assistant professor at School of History, Arts and Culture Studies, University of Turku, Finland. Her new book, “Sexuality after War Rape: From Narrative to Embodied Research” (Routledge 2017) addresses the sexuality of survivors, and challenges the stereotypical and victimized images and narrations and their harmful effects on the political, social and economic status of the survivors. She facilitated numerous trainings and workshops from community theatre and applied drama internationally and authored several forum theatre performances and her own monodrama “Canned”. In Fall 2016 she was a New Europe College EnTe Fellow, where she drafted her current project on the role of motherhood and collective memory in continuation of culture of violence and (un)successful reconciliation aftermath of war.
Dr. Mocnik will be giving several talks while at the University of Ottawa.
She will be the keynote speaker at the upcoming international workshop:
“21st Century Reflections on Sexual Violence in Wars, its Transgenerational and Transnational Impact” that will take place between March 13-16, 2018 at the University of Ottawa, and will also deliver a workshop entitled
"Achieving Truth: Embodied Art Research and Creating the Physicality of War on Stage" on March 16, 2018 at the University of Ottawa.
A very warm welcome to Dr. Mocnik!
