dc.description.abstract	Beginning in 2006, the project has been anchored in the Body Politics post-graduate course entitled ‘Gendered and Cultural Readings of Home, Citizenship and Cities’. As the course progressed, we built the conceptual foundation, a place and the process through which we generated a transdisciplinary conversation to read, research and reflect on identities, gendered subjectivities and agency, explored through ideas and practices related to home, struggles for citizenship and a reading of cities from this rich, diverse local base.	en
dc.description.sponsorship	The project has been funded by two South African National Research Foundation grants: from 2006 to 2008, the Swedish-South African Links Programme and from 2008 to 2011, an Institutional Research and Programme Development Grant. The Gender Justice and Body Politics Conference was funded by the Swedish Vetanskapsradet, the South African National Research Foundation, and the University of Cape Town Research Committee and was hosted by the African Gender Institute (AGI) and the Department of Environmental and Geographical Science (EGS), and affiliated with the African Centre on Cities (ACC) at the University of Cape Town.	en_US
