Gender Intitiativkolleg - GIK

Gender, Violence and Agency in the Era of Globalization

Topic, theses, aims

Gender perspectives on violence and agency in a globalizing world constitute the area of research and study of this inter- and transdisciplinary Doctorate Program (Initiativkolleg, IK).
Violence and agency in globalization processes include economic, political, social, legal, epistemological and cultural dimensions and call for historical as well as for normative perspectives. One of the major aspects is studying the intersection of multiple differences and the structure of inequality, e. g. gender, class, ethnicity and sexuality. This focus of the IK reflects the main areas in gender studies at the University of Vienna and will help to generate further synergies in research and teaching.
