GEXcel - Gendering EXcellence:

TOWARD A EUROPEAN CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE IN TRANSNATIONAL AND TRANSDISCIPLINARY STUDIES OF CHANGING GENDER RELATIONS, INTERSECTIONALITIES AND EMBODIMENT 

GEXcel is an international gender research centre, which is supported by the Swedish Research Council as well as by the universities of Linköping and Örebro, Sweden, in the period 2007-2011. GEXcel will carry out new research, and one of the aims is  to create a platform for a more permanent Sweden-based European Collegium for Excellent and Advanced Transnational and Transdisciplinary Gender Research.

A core activity of GEXcel is a Visiting Fellows Programme, set up to attract excellent senior researchers as well as promising younger scholars from Sweden and abroad and with  backgrounds in a variety of disciplines and interdisciplines. Together with local staff, the visiting fellows will jointly carry out thematically organized  gender research under the direction of one of the six local Gender Studies professors, who are responsible for the programme. Fellowships are regularly announced as well as publications, seminars, conferences and other events.

At this website you can find information on current and future research themes and events. In the calendar you can see when calls for fellowships are announced and you can subscribe to news regarding the centre.

We hope you will enjoy the site!
