The Gender Academy at Stockholm University is giving the following PhD course, that will be taught in October-December 2026:

Critical Perspectives on Anti-gender, 7,5 credits, Stockholm University

The aim of the course is to offer an advanced introduction to the expanding research field on anti-gender politics, which has sought to contribute understandings of the intensified mobilizations against LGBTIQ+ rights, women’s reproductive rights, and feminist, anti-racist and social justice politics. During the course, historical and contemporary, trans-disciplinary and trans-national perspectives on this phenomenon will be discussed, along with explorations of feminist and LGBTIQ+ resistance and counter mobilizations. Furthermore, the interconnection between anti-gender politics and other contemporary phenomena such as for example the rise of the digital manosphere, the institutionalization of right-wing populism and the resurgence of anti-immigration, white supremacist and authoritarian/neo-fascist discourses and regimes will be interrogated.

The course will be organized around thematic readings and lecture/seminars, spread out between October 9 and December 11. The students will be given the opportunity to delve into a chosen area based on their own research interests. Please note that Nov. 6 will be a full day, including open lectures by Elzbieta Korolczuk (Södertörn University & Warsaw University) and Haley McEwen (University of Gothenburg & University West). Online/hybrid participation will be possible.
