The Gender-Workshop
The gender workshop, which takes place annually in conjunction with the annual conference of the Association for Social Science Research on Japan (VSJF), is providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of gender-related research (on Japan).
We invite junior researchers and academic teachers as well as interested students and activists, who are working on developing visions of fair, free and (gender) equitable societies.
We will discuss current research projects that investigate and make visible the multiple interconnections of gender with other categories of difference (nation, culture, ethnicity, class, sexuality, disability, physicality, age, language etc.). In this sense we also aim for thematic openings which de-essentialise both ‘gender’ as well as ‘Japan’ by increasingly focusing on intersectional questions and on transcultural and transnational perspectives of Japan in the Asian and global context.
