This project, funded by a British Academy International Partnerships three-year grant, builds new links between the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender at the University of Warwick and the Institute of Women’s Studies at Birzeit University in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Bringing together scholars of gender from different disciplines and focusing on different regions of the world, this project will explore the shifting conceptualisations of gender in different geographical spaces as well as amongst different social groups within the same geographical spaces.
