Gender Research Group, Nottingham Trent

Description

The Gender Research Group aims to promote social and democratic inclusion and transformation at global, national and local levels through critical examination of the myriad ways gender matters in shaping people’s identities, experiences and opportunities.

Group members identify and analyse how multiple and complex social, cultural, political and psychological processes and contexts intersect in the construction of identities and inequalities in gendered social relations.

The group uses theoretical, empirical, practice and policy approaches from within the social sciences. Members are affiliated to Research Centres in the School of Social Sciences and to other research centres within Nottingham Trent University. The Group complements the Gender and Sexuality Research Group within the Centre for the Study of Inequality, Culture and Difference. The Group is a welcoming and supportive space which aims to develop, raise the profile, and increase the impact of, gender research in social sciences at Nottingham Trent University. Members do this through the co-creation of development and networking opportunities for gender-related research activities and collaborations, leading to (for example) research seminars, conference papers and publications, funded projects, day conferences, and public engagement.

The Group brings together scholars interested in gender from different subject areas within the School of Social Sciences at Nottingham Trent University, including sociology, psychology, politics and international relations, criminology, education, and social work, care and community. Members are a mix of established academics with strong reputations in gender-related publications, grant-capture and doctoral supervision, as well as doctoral students, research fellows and associates, early career researchers, and colleagues new to gender-focused research.
