The Collegium Gender Perspectives in Education
The gaze on gender and education.
The Collegium Gender Perspectives in Education is interested in issues related to critical perspectives on gender and education. This includes theoretical discussions of femininity, masculinity, sexuality and intersectionality. Education is interpreted in a broad sense and covers both formal and informal aspects, including preschool, school-age educare, primary and secondary education, adult education, higher education, association life and youth groups. The collegium focuses on current national and international educational research and its development. The collegium is open to everyone.
