ECPR Standing Group on Gender and Politics
About the ECPR Standing Group on Gender and Politics
The European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) is an independent, scholarly association that supports and encourages the training, research and cross-national co-operation of political scientists throughout Europe and beyond.
The ECPR Standing Group on Gender and Politics has been in existence since 1985. This standing group currently has over 300 members from different parts of the world and forms a broad-based network on issues relating to the study of gender and sexuality in politics and world politics. The group actively encourages workshops, panels and research groups with an emphasis on gender and seeks to increase the profile of women in the main fields of political science
The group’s activities include maintaining a research register of feminist research in politics as well as a ‘syllabus bank’ of gender and politics courses taught worldwide. Its mailing list is a vibrant information and discussion forum where messages regarding conferences, grants, jobs, and books are disseminated. The first ever European Conference on Politics and Gender (ECPG) will take place in Belfast in January 2009 and the group seeks to hold a Summer School on Feminist Research Methods in Politics in summer 2009.
Joining the ECPR Standing Group on Gender and Politics is easy and for free! Details on how to join us by subscribing to our mailing list can be found under the ‘become a member’ section of our homepage:
