Overview
About the programme
All the research staff start from the same point, approaching the field of research with a critical eye, whether the questions relate to feminist theory, political subjectivity, organisation and resistance in a neoliberal, postcolonial and global age, to norms concerning age, gender, disability and sexuality, or to feminist knowledge production.
The unit’s researchers explore issues at the absolute heart of the social debate and develop knowledge that provides insights into complex phenomena. We constantly take part in debates and knowledge development, for example on trans issues, gender equality policy, health and social care and reproductive rights, or on the importance of digital technologies for transnational social movements.
The unit’s researchers give the doctoral students an opportunity to develop into independent, critical and reflective gender researchers in their own right, with a capacity to drive forward the development of theoretical perspectives, methodologies and ethical approaches.
The Gender Studies unit at the University of Gothenburg is a member of the international research school InterGender and the unit’s doctoral students naturally have access to both international and national networks.
