Gender Forum

The University of Würzburg endeavours to strengthen gender aspects in research and teaching. Numerous researchers and students from various disciplines at the University of Würzburg deal with the topic of gender in their academic work. The Gender Forum was established in the 2016/2017 winter semester to offer them a platform for exchange and to promote networking within and outside the university.

Interested academics and students are cordially invited to join the forum.

Gender studies is an interdisciplinary field of science. The realisation that the relationship between the sexes is one of the fundamental forms of social organisation forms the starting point for teaching, research and the application of gender knowledge in various areas of society. Gender research is now anchored not only in traditional humanities, cultural and social science disciplines, but also increasingly in medical, technical and natural science fields.
