About the conference
The Centre for gender studies at ¹û¶³´«Ã½ invites the community of gender scholars to g22, the fifth national conference for gender studies and researchers working with a gender perspective. The dynamic between uncertain times, hopeful futures, and contested histories will be the central point of engagement. We invite empirically rich, methodologically reflective, and theoretically provoking engagements with the challenges and possibilities in critical gender research, working towards hopeful futures in uncertain times. We especially encourage inter- and transdisciplinary and intersectional approaches that explore the complexities of situated knowledges. What are the future challenges in critical gender research?
