Objectives
- To open space for interdisciplinary discussion on gender issues from a historical perspective as well as from the perspective of women and men in contemporary society.
- The intention to bring education and research at the faculty closer to those countries where gender studies is a legitimate part of social sciences disciplines as an expression of the democratic politics of education.
- To focus on the preparation and teaching of courses, lectures and seminars which offer important insights, theoretical concepts and reflections on key issues in gender studies, support gender sensitivity towards existing structural inequalities, lead towards the cultivation of critical thinking and the ability of argumentation from a gendered point of view, reveal the possibilities for gender analysis of a number of socio-political problems and contribute towards an adoption of gender-differentiated perspectives in the deconstruction of gender stereotypes, roles and symbols.
