About the department

The department conducts research and teaches in the field of international gender politics, with a focus on LGBTIQ+ research in political science as well as qualitative methods in political science. The latter are examined from a queer-feminist and intersectional perspective. Topics covered include the gendering of “the political,” transnational sexual politics, anti-feminist and queerphobic mobilizations, and queer class politics. Other areas of focus for the department include research and teaching on democracy (and democratic education) and gender, as well as concepts of solidarity.

The department collaborates, among others, with the Center for Gender Research in Transformation (GETRA) at the University of Kassel and is integrated into networks of (political science) gender and LGBTIQ+ research.
