Foundational Concepts to navigate a complex field of study
Gender Lecture Series 2024
The Gender Lecture Series aims to provide some instruments to understand the complexity stemming from increasing awareness of and research on gender issues, as well as manifold action at the international and domestic levels in this area. To do so, this year’s series focuses on the key words of gender studies, to give some fundamental points of reference and build an updated glossary of this area of study.
