Inhalt: "Wie kann Geschlecht als eine zentrale Kategorie der Analyse gegenwärtiger gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen fachübergreifend, theoretisch, methodisch sowie mit Praxisbezug verhandelt werden? In diesem Band werden Selbst- und Fremdpositionierungen, Repräsentationen, praktische Impulse und Vervielfältigungen von Geschlechtlichkeiten verhandelt. Die Auswahl der Beiträge versteht sich – wie die Geschlechterforschung selbst – als interdisziplinär. Das Anliegen, die hier versammelten Beiträge aus verschiedenen Disziplinen anhand der Dimensionen Repräsentationen, Positionierungen und Perspektiven miteinander in Kontakt zu bringen, folgt der Idee von Gender Studies, die sich engagiert gesellschaftlichen Ungleichheitsverhältnissen widmen und mittels kritischer Analysen zu deren Sichtbarmachung und Veränderung beitragen. Dabei oszillieren die Beiträge zwischen historischen Bezügen und Herleitungen, ihrer Einordnung in gegenwärtige gesellschaftliche Prozesse und die Perspektive in queere und vielfältige geschlechtliche Zukünfte. Die Beiträge liefern wertvolle Impulse für die Verortung und Weiterentwicklung wissenschaftlicher Konzepte und Methoden sowie zu intradisziplinären Debatten im Umgang mit der Vervielfältigung von geschlechtlichen Konzepten und deren Berücksichtigung in der Praxis. Das Paradigma der Intersektionalität bildet hierbei eine selbstverständliche Arbeitsgrundlage und so werden neben Geschlecht mindestens die Dimensionen von Sexualität und Begehren, Religion, (dis-)ability und race explizit in die Forschungen einbezogen. Ebenfalls werden die Beiträge von einer Dimension der Reflexivität durchzogen, die entweder die eigene Forschungspraxis und bestehende Konzepte in den Fokus nimmt oder zur Anregung pädagogischer Praktiken angelegt ist. Der Band versammelt somit ganz im Sinne der L’AGENDa-Reihe Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen, die ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte aus den Erziehungs- und Bildungswissenschaften, der Soziologie, Rechts- und Kulturwissenschaften, einbringen."

Inhalt: "This exciting new Handbook offers a comprehensive overview of the contemporary state of the field. The editors’ introduction and forty-five essays cover feminist critical engagements with philosophy and adjacent scholarly fields, as well as feminist approaches to current debates and crises across the world. Authors cover topics ranging from the ways in which feminist philosophy attends to other systems of oppression, and the gendered, racialized, and classed assumptions embedded in philosophical concepts, to feminist perspectives on prominent subfields of philosophy. The first section contains chapters that explore feminist philosophical engagement with mainstream and marginalized histories and traditions, while the second section parses feminist philosophy’s contributions to with numerous philosophical subfields, for example metaphysics and bioethics. A third section explores what feminist philosophy can illuminate about crucial moral and political issues of identity, gender, the body, autonomy, prisons, among numerous others. The Handbook concludes with the field’s engagement with other theories and movements, including trans studies, queer theory, critical race, theory, postcolonial theory, and decolonial theory. The volume provides a rigorous but accessible resource for students and scholars who are interested in feminist philosophy, and how feminist philosophers situate their work in relation to the philosophical mainstream and other disciplines. Above all it aims to showcase the rich diversity of subject matter, approach, and method among feminist philosophers."

Inhalt: This book examines persistent gender inequality in higher education, and asks what is preventing change from occurring. The editors and contributors argue that organizational resistance to gender equality is the key explanation; reflected in the endorsement of discourses such as excellence, choice, distorted intersectionality, revitalized biological essentialism and gender neutrality. These discourses implicitly and explicitly depict the status quo as appropriate, reasonable and fair: ultimately impeding efforts and attempts to promote gender equality. Drawing on research from around the world, this book explores the limits and possibilities of challenging these harmful discourses, focusing on the state and universities themselves as levers for change. It stresses the importance of institutional transformation, the vital contribution of feminist activists and the importance of women’s deceptively ‘small victories’ in the academy The volume is a must-read for anyone interested in fairness and justice around gender".

Inhalt: In numerous fields of science, work, and everyday life, humans and machines have been increasingly entangled, developing an ever-growing toolbox of interactions. These entanglements affect our daily lives and pose possibilities as well as restrictions, chances as well as challenges. The contributions of this volume tackle related issues by adopting a highly interdisciplinary perspective. How do digitalization and artificial intelligence affect gender relations? How can intersectionality be newly understood in an increasingly internationally networked world? This volume is a collection of contributions deriving from the “Interdisciplinary Conference on the Relations of Humans, Machines and Gender” which took place in Braunschweig (October 16–19, 2019). It also includes the keynotes given by Cecile Crutzen, Galit Wellner and Helen Verran. The necessity of inter- and transdisciplinary reflection processes, especially between the social sciences and humanities on the one hand and the technical and natural sciences on the other hand, results from complex man-machine configurations: Machines open up new possibilities for mobility and communication, relieve us of tedious tasks, allow us to share information or overcome physical limitations. At the same time, technical products influence the way we think, act and feel, i.e. our forms of subjectification. Machines are thus not only configured by humans, but they represent an essential part of the (re)configuration of the human. How do relationships between humans and machines reproduce gender relations and are these relationships gendered? Which fields of action arise from the perspective of gender studies, queer and postcolonial studies?

Inhalt: Digitale Gewalt kommt nicht nur im öffentlichen Raum vor, sondern auch in privaten Beziehungen – und hat in Kombination mit häuslicher und sexualisierter Gewalt eine deutlich geschlechtsspezifische Komponente. Durch Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien haben Gewaltformen wie Doxing, Stalking, Hate Speech und Online-Belästigung und -Bedrohung stark zugenommen und durch die Nutzung des Internets ihre Wirkmächtigkeit verstärkt. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes liefern für den Umgang mit diesen Gewaltformen grundlegende interdisziplinäre Analysen und diskutieren sowohl juristische, technische und aktivistische Interventionen als auch Erfahrungen aus der Beratungspraxis. Dabei werden zentrale politische Änderungsbedarfe ausgemacht und entsprechende Handlungsoptionen aufgezeigt.

Inhalt: Until today, Western, European sociology contributes to the social reality of colonial modernity, and gender knowledge is a paradigmatic example of it. Multiple Gender Cultures, Sociology, and Plural Modernities critically engages with these 'Western eyes' and shifts the focus towards the global variety of gendered socialities and hierarchically entangled social histories. This is conceptualised as multiple gender cultures within plural modernities. The authors examine the multifaceted realities of gendered life in varying contexts across the globe. Bringing together different perspectives, the volume provides a rereading of the social fabric of gender in contrast to androcentrist-modernist as well as orientalist representations of 'the' gendered Other. The key questions explored by this volume are: which social mechanisms lead to conflicting or shifting gender dynamics against the backdrop of global entanglements and interdependencies, and to what extent are neocolonial gender regimes at work in this regard? How are varying gender cultures sociohistorically and culturally structured, and how are they connected within (global) power relations? How can established hierarchies and asymmetries become an object of criticism? How can historical, cultural, social, and political specificities be analysed without gendered and other reifications? That way, the volume aims to promote border thinking in sociological understanding of social reality towards multiple gender cultures and plural modernities.

Inhalt: „Als „Facetten des Antifeminismus“ analysieren die in diesem Sammelband vertretenen Beiträge aktuelle Angriffe und Eingriffe in Bezug auf Geschlechter- und Diversitätsforschung sowie institutionelle Gleichstellungsarbeit. Die Beiträge beschränken sich dabei nicht auf den Wissenschaftsbereich, sondern thematisieren Antifeminismus auch in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen aus unterschiedlichen disziplinären Perspektiven: der Sozialpädagogik, den Kulturwissenschaften, der Sozialpsychologie, der Philosophie, den Umweltwissenschaften, der Soziologie, der Sozialen Ökologie sowie den Politik- und Erziehungswissenschaften. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser vielfältigen theoretischen Zugänge wird sich dem Themenfeld über zwei Schwerpunkte genähert: Zunächst werden aktuelle Debatten um Antifeminismus, Rechtsextremismus und Antigenderismus in den Blick genommen. Die Beiträge zeigen auf, in welcher Form sich Angriffe und Anfeindungen gegen Geschlechter- und Diversitätsforschung sowie Gleichstellungsarbeit äußern. Im zweiten Schwerpunkt verdeutlichen die Beiträge beispielhaft, wie antifeministisches Gedankengut sowie Vereinnahmungen von rechts in Bezugnahme auf Natur und Kultur in gesellschaftliche Handlungsfelder eindringen.“

Inhalt: “This collection turns a spotlight on gender innovation in the social sciences. Eighteen short and accessibly written case studies show how feminist and gender perspectives bring new concepts, theories and policy solutions. Scholars across five disciplines– economics, history, philosophy, political science and sociology – demonstrate how paying attention to gender can sharpen the focus of the social sciences, improve the public policy they inform, and change the way we measure things. Gender innovation provokes rethinking at both the core and the margins of established disciplines, sometimes developing alternative fields of research that chart new territory. These case studies celebrate the contribution of feminist and gender scholars and span topics ranging from budgeting, electoral systems and security studies to the ethics of care, emotional labor and climate change.”

Inhalt: "For the first time, the Max Planck Society is publishing an anthology on gender research, "Fundamental Questions". Thanks to the broad spectrum of disciplines and cultures represented in the Research Association, the authors, who come from various institutes, present their findings in numerous fields of research: law, art history, history of science, neuroscience, computer science and economics. The approaches, topics, issues and methodology of the collected contributions are equally diverse. This diversity shows in the best possible way that the integration of the gender perspective is beneficial not only for applied science and development, but also for basic research."
