STK turns 40 in 2026

The centre was established 4 September 1986 as the Centre for Women’s Studies, and we are celebrating 40 years of important research, education and dissemination this year!

Our main celebration of the anniversary will take place on the exact date of the centre’s founding, 4 September 2026. The theme for the day is “Kritikk, dialog og utopi: Perspektiver på kjønn og kunnskap i en polarisert tid” (Norwegian only). Keep an eye on our events page for more information about this day.

We have also prepared a brief historical overview of the centre’s past 40 years. Find out more about how we went through two name changes, became a permanent centre at UiO, built up our teaching activities, and more.

For 25 years we had a logo designed by Finn Graff, which eventually had to give way to UiO’s unified visual profile. For the anniversary, we have had a temporary logo made that incorporates this old logo with the winged mythological figure Iris. Read more about this in the historical overview.
