Centre for Gender Research, Uppsala University

The Centre for Gender Research is a dynamic and productive research environment where transgressive encounters between cultural, social and biological understandings of sex and gender has become a characteristic. Researchers at the Centre for Gender Research have their background in various disciplines in the faculties of the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Together we represent

a great variety of competences and areas of specializations. Research conducted at the Centre for Gender Research can be divided into three currently strong profile areas: Masculinities, Body & Embodiment and Natural sciences & Medicine. We also run the excellence programme GenNa: Nature/Culture and Transgressive Encounters. We provide a broad educational base with courses in both English and Swedish. In addition to our PhD program and Master's programmes, we give free-standing courses on both basic and advanced level. For English speaking students we offer courses on advanced level. Through trans-disciplinary efforts, events, and conversations, the Centre for Gender Research transgresses traditional organizational and knowledge boundaries and offers a unique and vibrant university wide meeting place for scholars and students in gender research.
