Gender Research Hub

gender logo

Wolfson College’s Interdisciplinary Research Hub on Gender brings together our international community of Fellows, students and alumni to create an open and active channel for discussions about gender and support gender-related research by College members whether based in Cambridge or beyond. 

The Gender Hub brings together individuals from a wide range of disciplines, generations and perspectives in accessible events, informal discussions and advocacy initiatives related to gender.  The Hub recognises that gender intersects with other axes of oppression: race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, and dis/ability status, among others. The Hub is committed to exploring and analysing these intersections in the events we organise and the initiatives we advance.

    Strategic Priorities 

    The Gender Research Hub aims to:

    1. Spark cross-disciplinary conversations and innovative collaborations among Wolfson's students, Fellows and alumni on issues related to gender.  
    2. Organise events to raise the profile of research on gender within the College community.
    3. Support College members engaged in research on gender by offering ample opportunities to share their work in informal discussions of work-in-progress, mini-conferences and social events.

    Scope

    The umbrella of gender-related research is expansive, as gender permeates virtually all aspects of personal and professional life. Categorizing topics on gendered research therefore proves difficult do in a rigorous taxonomical manner. However, in order to provide better focus and clarity on the nature of the Gender Research Hub, we have grouped certain key subjects around three themes. While these themes cannot be perfectly separated as many issues are highly intersectional, they provide a lens through which to frame our exploration on gender research.

    Graphic of topic map divided into themes, 1. Sociology and status, including topics of class, sexuality and gender identity, and race, ethnicity, and culture; 2. Services and stewardship, including topics of medicine and mental health, education and childcare, and environmental sustainability; 3. Systems and structures, including topics of law, occupation, and politics and power institutions
