Trajectories in contemporary gender research
The aim of the course is to problematize how gender theory can be challenged and developed with the help of postcolonial feminist theory and queer theory. Further, the aim is to use the theoretical and analytical tools introduced during the course in empirical studies of power.
Over the last decades postcolonial feminist theorizing and queer studies have contributed decisively to feminist thinking. Scholars within postcolonial and queer feminism have explored the complex and fractured ways in which doings of gender and sexuality are at the core of nationalisms, colonialisms, and racisms. This course examines key ideas and concepts underlying postcolonial and queer feminist theory.

The course is scheduled as a mini-conference over two days (3-5 December), with lectures and seminars. The course is held by faculty from Malmö University: Linda Lill (HS) och Despina Tzimoula (LS).

External teachers DIANA MULINARI, professor in Gender Studies and LENA MARTINSSON, professor in Gender Studies will share their theoretical and methodological toolboxes.
