Gender and Diversity—Travelling Concepts across Time and Space
Any field of research has key analytical concepts, including gender studies. In this course
some of the key analytical concepts are identified, their history is illustrated and their
applicability discussed. Concepts often become fashionable – and salient - and turn into
fast travelling concepts. However, analytical notions are also situated in space which has
been shown for the concept of ‘class’ and recently ‘intersectionality’.
This PhD course addresses both PhD students unfamiliar with gender research and PhD
students who are more experienced with gender studies. The first group will obtain
knowledge about the key concepts and major themes in the research field. The second
group will obtain new perspectives through the attentiveness to theoretical development
and the relationship between analytical notions, situated knowledge as well as examples
on how to apply theories and concepts in empirical analyses.
