About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes


The workshop “Migrant Mothers’ Subjectivities” with Prof. Eglė Kačutė, Full Professor of French Literature and Gender Studies at Vilnius University, explores the complexities of migrant motherhood and the formation of subjectivities. Chaired by Dr. Bianca Rita Cataldi (University of Galway) and Dr. Megan Kuster (University College Dublin), this interdisciplinary conversation delves into the experiences, challenges, and narratives of migrant mothers as they navigate identities shaped by displacement, belonging, and cultural negotiation. This thought-provoking discussion sheds light on the intersection of motherhood and migration.
