Genusvetenskap
Genusvetenskap är ett brett och tvärvetenskapligt forskningsfält som grundar sig på flera decenniers feministisk forskning.
Inom genusvetenskap studeras till exempel hur lagstiftning, politik, sexualitet, kultur, ekonomi och vardagsliv förstås och påverkas av den genusordning och den könsförståelse som råder. Kunskap om detta blir allt mer viktig i såväl stat, kommuner och organisationer som i näringslivet.
