Øresundsnätverket för kønshistorisk forskning
The Øresund Network for Gender History Research and the Centre for Øresund Studies have overlapping research interests in several areas and collaborate on workshops and publications. The Øresund Network for Gender History Research was founded in autumn 2010 as a collaboration between historians at the universities of Copenhagen, Lund and Malmö to strengthen gender history research on both sides of the strait. We welcome anyone interested in gender history, from students to senior researchers, historians and those active in other fields. You can read more about how the network was founded in the text Så föddes Øresundsnätverket för kønshistorisk forskning - Slump eller tidstypisk historia? (How the Øresund Network for Gender History Research was born - Coincidence or typical history?) by Ulrika Holgersson and Jens Rydström, from Gränsløs nr 6 (2016): Kønsgränser1.
Since its inception, we have met at a mini-conference every semester, in the spring in Denmark and in the autumn in Sweden, always on a Friday afternoon, followed by dinner and socialising in the evening. At these meetings, short presentations on current gender history research are given by both master's students and senior researchers. We also publish a newsletter with information about courses, conferences, seminars and new books produced in the Öresund region.
The coordinator of the network is Karin Jedeberg, doctoral student in history at the Department of History, Lund University.
