Gender Studies at the University of Münster
Gender studies is devoted to researching the significance of gender in a broad range of social, political and cultural areas. This expansive scope makes it a genuinely interdisciplinary field of research which generates significant contributions and food for thought, also with regard to gender equality. Our research endeavours reflect on existing power structures, serve to uncover structural discrimination and thereby support the development and evaluation of possible measures to increase equal opportunity.
Researchers and academics can apply for funding from the University’s own Programme for the Advancement of Women to finance individual projects and programmes and/or expand gender-related research and teaching. More information on individual funding.
At the University of Münster, there are research centres and working groups with a gender-related focus in various subjects and disciplines, e.g.:
Working group on gender research in physics
Centre for theological gender research
Centre for European Gender Studies (ZEUGS)
