Calls for Papers: Perspectives of Gender Research in the Natural and Engineering Sciences

GENDER. Journal for Gender, Culture and Society was founded in 2009 as a journal on women and gender studies.  Given the journal’s multi-disciplinary setting, we welcome analyses from, for instance, sociology, educational science, political science, cultural science and history which correspond to the interdisciplinary nature of gender studies.

This special issue will focus on the traces and perspectives of gender research in the natural and engineering sciences. It intends to cover e.g. the history of the “women in science and technology” movement, feminist epistemologies, cutting-edge research as well as forms of institutionalisation. The aim is to combine historical analyses with research perspectives in the future and to focus on theoretically and methodologically grounded inter- and transdisciplinary research on current societal challenges. This special issue encourages researchers to engage with scientific and technological knowledge and its socio-historical shaping, epistemological foundations, production methods and cultural effects in order to contribute to the mapping of gender research in the natural and engineering sciences.

Please send your proposal as well as your manuscript as Word file to: manuskripte@gender-zeitschrift.de (subject: Special issue „Natural and Engineering Sciences”).
