Welcome to the Centre for Gender Research
Crossroads of Knowledge
The Centre for Gender Research is a dynamic and productive research environment where transgressive encounters between cultural, social and biological understandings of sex and gender has become a characteristic. In 2006 we were appointed as a Centre of Gender Excellence.
Researchers at the Centre for Gender Research have their background in various disciplines in the faculties of the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Together we represent a great variety of competences and areas of specializations. Research conducted at the Centre for Gender Research can be divided into six currently strong profile areas: Body/Embodiment, Cultural Studies, Education, HumAnimal Studies, Masculinities and Physics. We also run the excellence programme GenNa: Nature/Culture and Transgressive Encounters.
We provide a broad educational base with courses in both English and Swedish. In addition to Master's programmes, we give free-standing courses on both basic and advanced level. For English speaking students we offer courses on advanced level.
Through trans-disciplinary efforts, events, and conversations, the Centre for Gender Research transgresses traditional organizational and knowledge boundaries and offers a unique and vibrant university wide meeting place for scholars and students in gender research.
Welcome to take part of our many activities at the Centre for Gender Research!
