Interdisciplinary working group on women's and gender studies (1987-2025)
The University of Kassel has a long tradition of gender studies. In 2022, the Interdisciplinary Working Group on Women’s and Gender Studies (IAG FG) celebrated its 35th anniversary. Several graduate research programs funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) have addressed topics such as gender relations and the dynamics of space and gender. In addition, various research priorities and projects in gender studies have been established at the University of Kassel to support the institutional anchoring and further development of this field of research. With the founding of the Center of Excellence for Gender Studies in Transformation (GETRA), the IAG FG was integrated into it. We document here the numerous conferences, event series, and workshops organized in the context of the IAG FG.
