Research Themes and Researchers

By Stine Adrian on 10 Aug | 0 comments

The Visiting Fellows Programme of GEXcel is organized thematically, and subdivided into 12 research themes. The research themes are defined and specified within the general frame of the overall theme of Transnational and Transdisciplinary Studies of Changing Gender Relations, Embodiment and Intersectionalities. The five research themes to be carried in the period 2007-2009 are the following:

1) Gender, Sexuality and Global Change; 2) Deconstructing the Hegemony of Men and Masculinities: Contradictions of Absence; 3) Distinctions and Authorizations; 4 & 5): Sexual Health, Embodiment and Empowerment: Bridging Epistemological Gaps. Further research themes will be defined on the basis of the research of the first phase. In addition, three cross-cutting research themes will also be organized: a) Exploring Sociotechnical Models for Combining Virtual and Physical Co-Presence while doing joint Gender Research; b) Organizing a European Excellence Centre - Exploring Models; c) Theories and Methodologies in Transnational and Transdisciplinary Studies of Gender Relations, Intersectionalities and Embodiment. GEXcel research will be based on the Visiting Fellows Programme and  carried out by research teams, comprising excellent senior scholars as well as promising younger researchers both from Sweden and abroad. The Visiting Fellows will stay at GEXcel  from 1 week and up till 12 months. The options will be specified in each call for applications.
