GENDER STEREOTYPES AND WOMEN DESIGN. NEW NARRATIVES
The University La Sapienza in Rome is organising an international Symposium dedicated to enhancing the presence of Women – students, graduates, scholars and professors – who were educated in the technical-scientific schools of the University. The title of the conference, Techniche Sapienti, holds reference to these two aspects: the 16th century name of Rome University “La Sapienza”, alias The Wisdom, and the technical education, mainly engineering and architecture, of the women under scrutiny.
The event will consist of three sessions: INCREASE THE AWARENESS RECEPTION AND DEBATE BECOMING VISIBLE. DISSEMINATION AND MEDIA
