In the spring of 2013 the Netherlands Research School of Gender Studies (NOG) in cooperation with the Graduate Gender Programme (GGeP) at Utrecht University organises a tenth round of the series of lectures entitled DOING GENDER.
This title stresses the importance of doing gender work and active involvement in the practice of gender theory and research. It supports a hands-on approach to gender issues in the sense of social and political engagement with the new forms of gender inequalities that are taking shape in the world today. The lecture series wants to give space to the new generations of gender theorists and practitioners and to perspectives that innovate the field and do gender in new ways. Key is the notion of doing gender: what is the state of the art definition of gender? How do contemporary scholars utilise this definition?
Speakers are Soledad Luco (February 21), Vicki Kirby (April 5), Estelle Barrett (May 21; photo) and Susan Stryker (May 30).
The Doing Gender Lecture Series takes place in Utrecht (except for the lecture of Vicki Kirby) and is free of charge.
