*GENDER STUDIES AT FU Berlin*

>Geschlechterforschung an der FU Berlin - ein Portrait

In winter term 2022/23, the MvBZ launched a format designed to make the diversity within gender studies at Freie Universität more visible to a broader audience. Each month, different research areas that address gender research topics from different disciplinary perspectives are presented here. 

>#4GenderStudies 2022: Gender Research at a glance

In the context of the #4GenderStudies Science Day, PhD and Postdoc researchers at Freie Universität Berlin showed how diverse the questions and approaches in this broad topic area are in the context of their current research projects. Watch the short videos here.

The editorial team of OPEN GENDER JOURNAL welcomes submissions of new research articles, discussion pieces, and reviews.

You are also very welcome to be part of our Reviewer Database.

This is a freely accessible database that can be used to find reviewers for scientific articles.

 

>IN-VISIBLE ACADEMIA

Driven by a worried perspective at the continuously intoxicated climate and more radicalised discussions about Gender Studies, we are cooperating with the In-Visible Agency in a new project: IN-VISIBLE ACADEMIA. The intention with this project is to grant visibility to research within the Gender Studies and to highlight implications for the practical world. We hope to contribute to making research more relatable and to help people outside of the academic world to gain access into state of the art research.

 

If you are a Gender Studies researcher and agree to be featured on IN-VISIBLE’s Social Media with your line of work; you can partake and help us to showcase the added value of Gender Studies. By focusing on the practical implications of the researchers’ findings, our features are an attempt at linking academia to practice. 

 

Contributing is not much work, we have made it easy for you. We kindly ask you to tell us about yourself and your project in a couple of sentences. This should not take longer than 15-25 minutes of your time. If there are any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the team: hi@in-visible.berlin
