Description
The database includes doctoral theses in women's, men's, and gender studies from Swedish academic institutions. This encompasses research that problematizes how gender is made, constructed, and created at different levels in culture and society. Women's, men's, and gender studies include gender equality research (investigating injustices in society related to gender and proposing measures to address them), women's studies (women and femininity), feminist research (emancipatory research with a focus on power), men's studies/masculinity research (men and masculinity), and queer research (critique of heteronormativity).
The database is available as an Excel file with multiple sheets (.xlsx), as semicolon separated values (.csv), and as a PostgreSQL dump file that may be used to reconstruct the original database configuration (.sql).
