Apply for funding from the Nordic Gender Fund this autumn
The Swedish Secretariat for Gender Research at the University of Gothenburg is committed to supporting the infrastructure for a broad field of research on gender and other power structures. As part of this work, the Secretariat has established a Nordic Gender Fund, which will be announced once a year. Applications for funding can include journals, conferences and networks for research on norms, beliefs and structures that create, reproduce and maintain inequalities based on, for example, gender, race/ethnicity, sexuality, class and age. The first call for applications will open on 15 October 2024. Deadline for applications is 15 November.
Activating the queer archive!

What are the meanings of a queer archive and for whom? Or is the queer archive a negation?
