Gender and sexuality

The question of gender is one of the emerging and innovative cross-disciplinary issues that the CNRS supports through the strong involvement of its Gender Institute, networks and joint research units. The aim of the research is in this area is to question gender theories and their epistemologies using an approach to issues involving the body and sexuality and the forms of subjectivation linked to these. CNRS Humanities & Social Sciences also considers it important to promote and raise awareness of gender issues and carry out scientific analyses of discrimination in this area. This involves all the disciplines of CNRS Humanities & Social Sciences and also interactions with other CNRS Institutes which lead to opportunities for interdisciplinary research.
