Via San Francesco 22, Verona

Prof. Daniel Borrillo, Università Paris X

Introduced by Massimo Prearo, Marie Curie Fellow

The meeting will highlight the crucial stages of the mobilization that led to the adoption of the marriage “pour tous” law in 2013, in France, from the adoption of the law on heterosexual and homosexual civil partnerships (Pacs) in 1999, through the law on homophobia in 2004. We will also discuss the recent legislation on LGBT rights on the international level (eg. Argentine law on gender identity) and some proposals about the extension of the principle of equality to gender and sexuality rights. Finally, we will also discuss the involvement of the researcher as an “expert” in the political field and the methodological impact it has concerning research work.
