About CFS

Feminist violence studies

Women and men have different experiences of violence. We investigate different forms of violence and how it is gendered.

Men and masculinities

We analyse how masculinities changes and how they can be understood in contexts such as family, sports, and music.

Sustainability

We apply a feminist perspective on sustainability, how gender affects the work on sustainability, and how gendered sustainbilites interacts with policy.

A puzzle with symbols for man and woman.

Feminist theory

We develop and analyse concepts and theories relevant to gender studies including and identify its presuppositions and assumptions.

Love and lgbtqi+

This research consists of two strands: The first is studies of love, intimacy, and sexuality. The second investigates the conditions for lgbtqi+ persons.
