Research

Research and publication activities in the field of the sociology of gender have concentrated on several specific areas in the past few years. Apart from dealing with (1) issues concerning the relationship between gender and social practice, there has also been a focus on (2) the processes of modernization and current contradictions in gender issues, on (3) the institutionalization of gender studies within the Bologna Process, and on (4) processes involved in the construction of relationships across the fields of science, technology and social studies (STS). A process of continuous reflection concerning the areas of affinity between sociology, gender studies, and feminist theory serves to augment all these areas of focus.
