Innsbruck Doctoral College
Gender and Gender Relations in Transformation:
The Innsbruck Doctoral College investigates transformations of gender and gender relations in their historical, spatial and reciprocal relationships, conditions and effects.
The research is built upon intersectional critical gender studies that bring feminist theory, queer studies, trans* studies, de-, post and anti-colonial studies, Black studies, migration studies and disability studies into dialogue. The programme defines gender as social and historical construct that structures institutions, politics and agency and provides an interdisciplinary platform for analyzing the complex interplay between gender, power and social inequality as well as for analyzing practices of negotiating and subverting gender regimes.
