Expert Group on Gender

The Expert Panel for Gender works under the aegis of the Research Council and contributes to the Council´s work with its competence in the gender research area.

Gender Studies investigates the social and cultural content and meanings of gender. The concept deals with the notions of male and female in different cultural, social and historical settings, i.e. how the sexes are assigned different properties, qualities, occupations, rights, opportunities and so on. The concept also means that the focus is on relations between the sexes.

Gender research includes
