The website, the main communication channel of CLAM during its twenty years of existence, has a new platform that offers greater interactivity and an improved navigation experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The launch of the new site coincides with the Center\u2019s twentieth anniversary. The platform serves as the primary communication channel for CLAM with its audience. The new platform, built using WordPress, allows for increased interactivity and a better browsing experience for users. Its more dynamic and modern layout highlights featured news and the center\u2019s productions: books, journals, research, and training and advisory programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new platform will continue to share recent news in the field, as well as the productions of its members and partner institutions. Soon, the Spanish and English versions of the site will be updated. In addition to news displayed in larger images in a carousel on the homepage, access to the archive and institutional repository remains through indexed tabs on the top bar, which have also been reorganized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The “About Us” section now includes mini-biographies of the center’s members and provides open and free access to texts by its researchers, such as articles, books, and book chapters. Furthermore, a new section has been created to house the theses and dissertations of graduates from UERJ\u2019s postgraduate programs, supervised by CLAM professors, through entries in the \u201cCLAM Library\u201d that lead directly to the works in UERJ\u2019s Thesis and Dissertation Library, part of UERJ\u2019s Sirius Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Document Collection, freely distributed and available online through the CLAM website, has been featured in the book carousel on the new homepage to facilitate access. This collection includes 26 titles, mostly resulting from research developed at the center in partnership with other institutions. The Sexuality, Gender, and Society collection, currently developed in partnership with EdUERJ, has also been showcased in a highlighted carousel. This collection consists of 28 monographic volumes and anthologies on current topics in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About CLAM: The Latin American Center for Sexuality and Human Rights was established in 2002, with the aim of producing, organizing, and disseminating knowledge on gender, sexuality, and health from a Human Rights perspective. Since then, CLAM has sought to contribute to reducing gender inequalities and combating discrimination against sexual and ethnic-racial minorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project combines teaching, research, and university extension, developing resources for students, researchers, activists, professionals, and public managers. It disseminates knowledge and contributes to building networks through the curation of academic publications and its digital social media channels. Among these is the trilingual academic journal in Portuguese\/Spanish\/English, Sexualidad, Salud y Sociedad, Revista Latinoamericana, a regional reference in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CLAM organizes, supports, and participates in events, offers courses, and maintains a bibliographic and documentary digital repository with open access on its website. This repository, now renewed, was created in 2005 and has stood out for its pioneering role in disseminating content on gender, sexuality, and politics in digital format. Its monthly newsletter reaches around 10,000 activists, researchers, students, public managers, and professionals from various fields in Brazil, Latin America, and other regions of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout its activities, CLAM has developed academic and social communication collaborations of regional scope, partnering with research institutions and feminist, LGBTQIA+, AIDS advocacy, and Human Rights organizations in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Mexico, resulting in several regional studies and numerous publications. The Center has also provided consultancy, participated in forums, and developed partnerships with NGOs and the Federal Government and the State Government of Rio de Janeiro, particularly in the area of continuing education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 2018, due to increased involvement of postgraduate students and undergraduate interns at CLAM, the center\u2019s presence on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram has been strengthened. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Center maintained its connection with the public and activated partnerships with other research groups through colloquia and seminars in virtual formats, publishing materials on its website and posting on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since its inception, CLAM has offered scientific initiation opportunities (CNPq and UERJ), extension internships (Depext\/UERJ), and internal complementary internships (EIC\/UERJ) for undergraduate students at UERJ, as well as for professionals (Proatec\/UERJ) who join the communication team. This team was structured with the support of extension scholarships, internal complementary internships, and PROATEC. The CLAM team expresses its gratitude for these programs, as well as for periodic support from CAPES, CNPq, and FAPERJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2022, the Center changed its general coordination, which has always been led by faculty members of IMS\/UERJ. After being led by S\u00e9rgio Carrara and Maria Luiza Heilborn since its founding, then Jane Russo, and Horacio S\u00edvori since 2014, it is now under the care of Claudia Mora. The executive management is currently shared with the former coordinator and Professor Laura Lowenkron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CLAM 20 years: In 2023, the Center celebrates its twentieth anniversary. In commemoration, the international seminar \u201cSexuality and Human Rights: memory of the formation of a field of study\u201d will take place on June 6 and 7, 2024, at the Institute of Social Medicine at UERJ, the home of CLAM, with online streaming to allow remote participation. An exhibition featuring archival material from the center will be held in both physical and virtual settings. A commemorative volume based on the speeches and debates from the seminar is also planned for publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CLAM team thanks the professionals who collaborated with the Center in this endeavor and the public who follow its work. We invite you to explore the new portal and update your registration for the newsletter to stay informed about our news and upcoming releases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
