Find below the recordings of Prof. Dr Kirsten Campbell’s lecture (Goldsmiths, University of London, UK) on violence as a feminist problem and producing knowledge on sexual and gender-based violence. The lecture was held at the International Conference „Beyond Fear and Silence: Universities against Violence“ (The Rectorate, University of Sarajevo, 6th and 7th May, 2022). During the two Conference days, over 70 Bosnian-Herzegovinian, regional and international scholars discussed gender-related issues in the field of higher education. In two days, and through 8 parallel panels, over 30 papers by authors from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia were presented. Also, during the conference we had the opportunity to hear 4 keynote speakers, professors from the United Kingdom, Austria and Croatia.

The conference was opened by Prof. Dr Kirsten Campbell’s lecture on violence as a feminist problem and how feminist theories have understood sexual and gender-based violence. Kirsten Campbell teaches sociology at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Kirsten was the principal investigator of the European Research Council funded project, ‘The Gender of Justice’, which analysed the prosecution of sexual violence in armed conflict through a case study of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the War Crimes Chamber of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This was the inaugural conference of the University and Gender Mainstreaming Project (UNIGEM) that gathers eighteen universities from the Balkans region and brings together regional and international scholars researching gender-related issues in the field of higher education. Organizers were University of Sarajevo (UNSA) and TPO Foundation.
