PushBackLash: ANTI-GENDER BACKLASH & DEMOCRATIC PUSHBACK

PushBackLash的目标有两个方面：（1）首先，系统地探讨当今精英和公民层面对两性平等问题和政策的认识。从全球女权主义的角度来看待民主，我们采用了严格的，比较的，多方法的设计（例如，实验、调查、访谈、参与性戏剧）。我们的项目能够：（a）确定反性别战略以及在不同空间和时间采取反性别行动的最佳做法;（B）通过关注政党、社交媒体和公众舆论，评估反性别言论的影响。第二，（2）开发和测试能够有效抵制反性别和反女权主义话语策略的策略。为了支持更包容的欧洲社会的民主治理质量，我们承认性别和其他社会类别在项目的各个阶段（财团和咨询委员会的组成;理论制定，实证调查和政策建议）之间的交叉点，从而与利益相关者接触。为了制定可持续的解决方案，我们汇集了来自政治学（政治理论，公共政策，政党，舆论，政治行为），人类学，传播和媒体，哲学，社会学和社会心理学等多个领域的性别活动家，欧盟专家和研究人员。PushBackLash是一个跨学科、性别多元化的联盟，旨在为支持平等的行为者提供实用的工具包，以应对反性别平等和反女权主义的话语战略和反弹策略。

The goal of PushBackLash is twofold: (1) Firstly, to systematically inquire into the present-day contestation of gender equality issues and policies at both elite and citizen levels. Approaching democracy from a global feminist perspective, we employ a rigorous, comparative, multi-method design (e.g., experiments, surveys, interviews, participatory theatre). Our project enables: (a) identifying anti-gender strategies as well as best practices in counter-acting them across space and time; and (b) assessing the effects of antigender discourses by focusing on parties, social media and the public opinion. Secondly, to (2) develop and test strategies that can effectively counteract anti-gender and anti-feminist discursive strategies. Aiming at supporting the quality of democratic governance in more inclusive European societies, we acknowledge intersections between gender and other social categories at all stages of the project (composition of consortium and advisory board; theory formulation, empirical investigation, and policy recommendations) and thus engage with stakeholders. To develop sustainable solutions, we bring together gender activists, EU experts and researchers from several fields of political science (political theory, public policy, political parties, public opinion, political behavior), anthropology, communication and media, philosophy, sociology and social psychology. PushBackLash is a transdisciplinary, gender-diverse consortium aiming at equipping pro-equality actors with practical toolkits for responding to anti-gender equality and anti-feminist discursive strategies and backlash tactics
