The members of the Cornelia Goethe Center research the meanings and problems of gender relations in all areas of society. This includes the symbolic constructions of masculinity and femininity, but also the social inequalities and power relations in which they are embedded. Research addresses current socio-political issues and is characterized by an interest in theoretical reorientations, socio-cultural differentiation processes and international developments.
The research projects are funded by international and national third-party donors, such as the European Union, the German Research Foundation, the Federal Ministry of Education and Science, the State of Hesse, and the Hans Böckler Foundation.
