Inter- and Multidisciplinary Perspectives and Gender Studies – Innsbruck Gender Lectures IV
The fourth volume of the Innsbruck Gender Lectures (IGL) has been published. This time edited by Caroline Voithofer from the Department of Legal Theory and Future of Law together with Kordula Schnegg, Julia Tschuggnall and Manfred Auer. The editors take up the idea of the first three volumes and make selected lectures of the Innsbruck Gender Lectures series available in book form (published by iup) as well as online open access.
The volume comprises six contributions that offer insights into current debates on women’s and gender studies as well as queer studies. This includes papers on digitalisation, flexible forms of organisation, family law, politics and history. All text question the usefulness and necessity of gender and queer theoretical approaches in order to be able to meet socio-political and scientific challenges in a socially just and fair way – free of discrimination and violence.
In future, the CGI wants to set annual focal points for the Innsbruck Gender Lectures. Thereby the Innsbruck Gender Lectures volumes will also be united by a thematic bracket and current issues will be examined from inter-, multi- and transdisciplinary perspectives.
All those interested are invited to read the volume and to listen to the previous Innsbruck Gender Lectures in the broadcast archive.
