What is #4genderstudies?
On the #4genderstudies Science Day, academics* from all over the German-speaking world and beyond show what they are working on. Online and offline, the necessity and diversity of gender studies is made accessible to a wider audience. The day of action is a response to the hostility against gender studies. Under the hashtag #4genderstudies we take a stand and show how important is our work.
What are we doing at Gender Campus?
In 2017, we gave an insight into the work of the IZFG on Twitter. In 2018, we posted three blog posts and a statement on Gender Campus and shared a collection of updates from Gender Studies in Switzerland on Twitter. In 2019, we published a «Gender Studies ABC» from A as in Algorithm to Z as in Zukunft (Future), showing the different forms of knowledge produced in Gender Studies.
You can find the most recent projects under the links for the respective years.
