Research Cluster in Gender History
Description
The University of Reading’s research cluster in gender history. The Cluster's purpose is to explore gender in its complexity. Across time and space gender has often been viewed and imagined as binary and cisgender. However, the construct of heteronormativity – the belief that people fall into two distinct and complementary genders with natural roles in life – must be questioned, examined, and investigated. Members' work uses a range of approaches, such as political, cultural, and social history, all thoroughly anchored within gender history but with cross- and interdisciplinary perspectives. This Cluster understands gender history to include:
- women history;
- the history of manliness and masculinity;
- the history of sexuality;
- gendered history.
