Voices from Gender Studies

<p>The book is aimed at providing an assertion of Gender Studies as a vital community in our time, united in a commitment to inquiry.

The first level corresponds with the significance of research in the field and its transformative power in and, crucially, outside the academia. The second relates to the value of networking and community building for doing research.</p><p>The book presents Gender Studies in a communicative, open manner that invites the reader to engage in and continue the displayed discussions.
