History of the NTNU GenderHub

 

History of the NTNU GenderHub

(by Elisabeth Stubberud and Sara Orning)

 

Sociology and Gender Studies are fields with much in common, for example, a focus on power relations with a particular view to social inequality. But even if many gender researchers have their background in sociology (as well as many other disciplines), there is not necessarily much gender research at the core of sociology today. And sociologists and gender researchers do not automatically communicate either - not when they belong to different departments and even faculties, as they do at NTNU. 

This was the backdrop against which the NTNU sociologists Ingvill Stuvøy and Jorid Hovden initiated a network for gender and feminist theory in the mid-2000s. This became a low-threshold, interdisciplinary network that ran for several years, until it became transformed in 2016 when the Faculty of Humanities financed a four-year network coordinator position at part of a postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre for Gender Studies in the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture.

Sara Orning, who filled the position as coordinator, took over the baton from Stuvøy and Hovden and, in cooperation with them and her colleagues at the Centre for Gender Studies, built the NTNU GenderHub. The thought behind the GenderHub was to create an interdisciplinary network for gender researchers as well as researchers and students who work with or are interested in themes, theories, or perspectives to do with gender. The aim of the GenderHub is to create a meeting place where we can build research collaborations, recruit students, exchange knowledge of gender research across disciplines, and develop ideas and inspire each other.

  • NEW BOOK: Assisted Reproduction Across Borders. Feminist Perspectives on Normalizations. Eds. Merete Lie and Nina Lykke

From feminist perspectives, the contributors focus on contemporary political debates triggered by ARTs. They examine the varying ways in which ARTs are interpreted and practised in different contexts, depending on religious, moral and political approaches. Assisted Reproduction Across Borders embeds feminist analysis of ARTs across a wide variety of countries and cultural contexts, discussing controversial practices such as surrogacy from the perspective of the global South as well as the global North as well as inequalities in terms of access to IVF.

 

Maria Kirpichenko also has a chapter in the collection, which concerns an attempt to ban wide access to Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) in Russia by the Committee on Family, Women and Children of the Russian Parliament.
