Histories of Gender and Sexuality Research Group

Description

The Histories of Gender and Sexuality Research Group (HGS) is an interdisciplinary research group based in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh.

HGS brings together staff and postgraduate students whose research embraces gender, sexuality and/or women’s history. Important shared interests currently include structure and agency in theory and practice; gender and systems of regulation; fertility and reproduction.

Through a range of formal and informal events HGS encourages critical exploration of crucial theoretical and methodological questions, and promotes the history of gender and sexuality across disciplines and periods from prehistory to the contemporary world. Alongside a seminar series the Group also organises work-in-progress sessions, roundtables, workshops and symposia. HGS is designed to provide a forum in which both staff and student research can flourish, and current PhD students act as group co-ordinators alongside academic staff.

HGS runs regular seminars throughout the academic year to which all are welcome.
