Feminist Research Group
The Feminist Research Group is an interdisciplinary research unit that promotes feminist activities and collaborative research at the University of East London. Feminist research is conceived of in broad terms, as being concerned with issues of women, and gender, including amongst others, intersectional relations of social class, ‘race’ and sexuality, migration and belonging, ecology, human rights, labour and employment, media and representation, violence and conflict. The Group spans a number of disciplines including sociology, anthropology, politics, law, psychosocial studies, psychology, critical geography, philosophy, history, cultural studies, literature and art. Its aim is to sustain and support rigorous analyses of global gender relations as enacted within specific historic, economic, political, social, cultural and scientific contexts.
Aims
- To become an interdisciplinary hub for feminist activities and research within the university developing links with other gender institutes, centres and research groups in the UK and overseas.
- To produce a distinctive body of publications in feminist research in the form of books and journal articles
- To promote, teach and develop feminist research methodologies
- To organise research seminar series, workshops and conferences
- To support and encourage graduate students associated with the Group
- To develop, promote and support action research that can influence legal frameworks, social policies and practices
