Beschreibung
This book provides an overview of the theories and concepts, with which social scientists approach gender in their research, as well as case studies from the fields of anthropology, history, political sciences, and sociology. While thematically diverse, the chapters share the conviction that the social sciences have much to contribute to the advancement of gender equality in society and politics, and they bear witness to how societal and political developments influence our research. Regionally, the book has a strong focus on the academic, political, and societal developments in the Caucasus region, yet also includes perspectives from Spain, Albania and Indonesia.
