About the project

The research field spans issues relating to democracy and participation; majority/minority relations;
inclusion and exclusion; women's movement and gender equality; feminism and multiculturalism.

The research undertaken by members of this group is informed by matters relating to differing perceptions
of globalization and transnational mobilization. These give rise to a range of possible research questions,
including:

  • What are the likely effects of globalization for the social and political representation and participation of ethnic and racialised minorities?

  • What implications does transnationality have for mobilizing and organizing women’s movements?

  • How does globalization influence discourses on gender equality, participation and visions of a gender fair society?

  • How is migration related to women’s movements’ claims and political impact, and for cooperation and conflicts between various groups of women?
