Interdisciplinary working group on women's and gender studies (1987-2025)
The University of Kassel can look back on a long tradition of gender research. In 2022, the Interdisciplinary Working Group on Women's and Gender Studies (IAG FG) celebrated its 35th anniversary. Several Research Training Groups funded by the German Research Foundation have dealt with topics such as gender relations and the dynamics of space and gender. In addition, various research focuses and projects in gender studies have been established at the University of Kassel, which support the institutional anchoring and further development of the research field. With the foundation of the Competence Center for Gender Research in Transformation, the IAG FG has been merged into it. The numerous conferences, event series and workshops organized in the context of the IAG FG are documented here.
