GENDER STUDIES AND THE NEW ACADEMIC GOVERNANCE ...

What is happening to gender studies and gender research as emerging but contested fields of
scientific knowledge in the conditions of the new academic governance? And which role do gender
studies and gender research play in the current transformations in academia? All articles in
this book make clear that the impacts of the new academic governance have global  glocal and
local dimensions which have to be taken into account in analysing the state of gender studies
and gender research at the end of the 2010s. From diverse geopolitical and sociocultural views
the authors simultaneously draw a multifaceted picture of the current situation  criticise the
widespread tendencies of the marketisation of scientific knowledge  suggest strategies for
resistance against the neo-liberalisation of higher education and research  and identify
starting points for further and optionally comparative studies on these issues. These
contributions emphasise not only the need for more theoretical reflection and empirical
research and for critical exchanges on the current transformations  but also the need for
political action to challenge  resist and change them. The EditorDr Heike Kahlert is Professor
and Chair of Sociology Social Inequality and Gender at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) 
Germany.
