Research Cluster: Gender, Knowledge and Power
Overview
The cluster on Gender, Knowledge, and Power brings together interdisciplinary researchers and scholars from across CHSS who are committed in their academic research and pedagogies to social justice, social progress, and sustainability. The cluster builds on and supports the research and training taking place across the College through postgraduate programs in Translation and Interpreting; Women, Society, and Development; Digital Humanities; and Middle East Studies. The three themes are tied together by an investment in interventions and explorations of gendered concepts and practices of citizenship, knowledge production, and power, which include:
- Women, Society, and Work
- Women, Knowledge, and Cross-Cultural Production
- Women, Migration and Dis/placement
