Gestu_S Hosts Gender Forum

The Center for Gender Studies (Gestu_S) is hosting the “Gender Forum” series for the first time this winter semester. The series is open to all members of the university community across all faculties who are currently engaged with gender issues. Whether you’re a newcomer or an expert, working on a term paper or a dissertation—everyone is warmly invited to engage in open discussion and support one another. The overarching theme of the Gender Forum this winter semester is “Gender as a Category of Analysis and Method.” Over the course of two sessions, we’ll talk together about the role gender can play in our research projects and how we can apply it in practice.
