Each year, the Centre for Gender Research awards a prize for the best master's thesis with a gender perspective submitted to the University of Oslo. The deadline for nominating candidates for this year's prize is 31 December.

In August, Jennifer McWeeny began her new role as Professor II at the Centre for Gender Research (STK). –I recognize how special the Centre for Gender Research is and I am delighted to be a part of this community, says McWeeny.

The recently concluded ALCITfem project looked at the role of small-scale initiatives used by Kurdish women in Kurdistan and the diaspora to support women in their local communities. Small-scale activism is an interesting concept because there is great social and emancipatory potential on the micro-level, says project co-leader Wendelmoet Hamelink.

In the recently concluded project EgFem: Egyptology, feminist theory and alternative worlds, postdoctoral researcher Reinert Skumsnes explores the potential for dialogue between present feminist theories about the body, sex and gender, and ancient Egyptian concepts, experiences and practices.

In January, Rebecca Lund began a permanent position as an associate professor at the Centre for Gender Research.

The prize for the best MA thesis with a gender perspective submitted to the University of Oslo in 2023 has gone to one of STK’s own students, Miki Gebrelul.

Twelve candidates have been nominated for the STK award for the best master thesis with a gender perspective submitted to the University of Oslo in 2023.
