Hej! En påminnelse om denna doktorandkurs, som vi ser fram emot att ge i höst. Nu finns en litteraturlista, som bifogas detta mailutskick och som inom kort kommer att läggas ut på kurshemsidan också. (Ytterligare en liten justering som ska in på hemsidan är tiden för sista seminariet, den 11 december, som är förlängd till 13–17).
Sök eller sprid till möjliga intresserade doktorander, i Sverige och utomlands (distansdeltagande kommer att vara möjligt)! Och igen, ursäkta eventuell dubbelpostning.
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.
