PhD-Position in Gender Studies: Gender Struggles in the New Conjuncture

The research program Gender Struggles in the New Conjuncture investigates contemporary gender struggles in Europe, analyzing how feminist and LGBTQI+ mobilizations interact with rising anti-gender movements. At a time of democratic decline, the project aims to examine how struggles over gender and sexuality shape contemporary political and social landscapes in Europe. The project investigates both feminist and LGBTQI+ movements struggling for expanded rights and anti-gender movements opposing these advancements. Ultimately, the research will provide new insight into the emergence of new normative foundations for society in the wake of today’s divergent mobilizations. 

We are recruiting a PhD-student in Gender Studies for conducting research within the frames of the research program.
