The research work of the Department of Gender Studies is critical, transnational, and interdisciplinary.
Our research is variously positioned in relation to different fields of study within the social sciences and humanities, but in each case, the focus on gender means testing conventional disciplinary boundaries and developing alternative methodologies. All the work addresses, in some way, the tenacity of gender power relations and gendered inequalities in a period of global transformation.
Our research falls under five broad clusters, and we work both independently and collaboratively within these themes:
- Cultural production, practices and representation
- Care, labour and political economy
- Social movements, rights and justice
- Security, conflict and peace
- Theory, methodology and ethics
