At this site you will be able to find projects and activities arranged by different people and organisations around the country where English is the working language or interpreting will be provided. They include courses, conferences and seminars, presentations of research reports and theses, exhibitions and EU projects, etc. Along with the goal of presenting the research front in gender studies, the Centre hopes that this conference will offer a space to renew previous research contacts and facilitate further research cooperation between the Nordic countries and other European countries. Further aims of the conference are to present the interdisciplinary breadth of European feminist research and to include the work of the next generation of researchers. The main themes of the conference are yet to bed decided, so all suggestions and ideas are welcome.
More information is now available on the Swedish Secretariat for Gender Research's website.
Information on the Secretariat, its staff, board and publications, as well as links to databases and other centres for gender research, have been available for some time. If you have any questions or comments about this website, please contact the webeditor, Bosse Parbring . A research school focused on gender studies will be established in Sweden. In addition to investing a total of SEK twelve million in this research school of gender science, the Swedish government wants the new Swedish Research Council to invest at least SEK ten million on gender research. In order to increase gender equality in higher education, these seats of learning are expected to undertake positive action in the recruitment of graduates to research schools and so-called recruitment positions.
