Building the future of gender studies

why it is interesting to participate in the CGSN and shared her perspective on the future of research around gender issues.

According to Professor Ah-King, the CGSN helps academics make academic connections, improve their scientific communication and discuss their work with new audiences. “I try to seize all opportunities to share my research, because I think gender and biology concerns everyone. Most of my international connections are researchers in the USA and Australia, so I appreciate how university collaboration through CIVIS provides this possibility to make connections across Europe.”

She also believes that such networks can be of real structural benefit for the sometimes fragile interdisciplinary ecosystem of gender studies. “I think that collaboration between Gender Studies departments across Europe has the potential to lead to fruitful collaborations in the future, as well as supporting researchers and departments at a time when gender studies as a field is increasingly under attack across Europe”.

In her work, Professor Ah-King explores how researchers build both knowledge and ignorance around gender issues through the lens of a relatively young and dynamic research field. Looking to the future of gender studies, she states: “My hope for the future of gender studies is that it continues to develop in multiple directions, both as a field of its own and as an interdisciplinary research space which evolves in close connection to other fields of research, contributing to a future of sustainability, livability and justice for all”.
