Gender Research Hub

gender logo

 

Wolfson College’s Interdisciplinary Research Hub on Gender brings together our international community of Fellows, students and alumni. This is creating an open and active channel for discussions about gender and support gender-related research. 

 

The Hub is focusing its efforts along four different streams: events and conferences, networking and mentoring, research and projects, and reading groups.

Strategic Priorities 

The Gender Research Hub aims to:

  1. Spark cross-disciplinary conversations and innovative collaborations among Wolfson's students, Fellows and alumni on issues related to gender.  
  2. Organise events to raise the profile of research on gender within the College community.
  3. Support College members engaged in research on gender by offering ample opportunities to share their work in informal discussions of work-in-progress, mini-conferences and social events.

Scope

The umbrella of gender-related research is expansive, as gender permeates virtually all aspects of personal and professional life. Categorising topics on gendered research therefore proves difficult do in a rigorous taxonomical manner. However, in order to provide better focus and clarity on the nature of the Gender Research Hub, we have grouped certain key subjects around three themes. While these themes cannot be perfectly separated as many issues are highly intersectional, they provide a lens through which to frame our exploration on gender research.

Graphic of topic map divided into themes, 1. Sociology and status, including topics of class, sexuality and gender identity, and race, ethnicity, and culture; 2. Services and stewardship, including topics of medicine and mental health, education and childcare, and environmental sustainability; 3. Systems and structures, including topics of law, occupation, and politics and power institutions

Women's Network

We are developing a Women's Network and there is a Women of Wolfson Panel Discussion. The Hub also posts the annual International Women's Day Conference.

Reading Group

There are in-person discussions, with an online forum encouraging offsite alumni participation.
