To develop transnational perspectives we suggest a number of tools: a diverse team, interactive peer learning, multi-sited analysis and more. You find our reflections on this in METHODOLOGY. To encourage your own enquiries, we also include GLOSSARIES and reflections on language and multilinguality and an annotated list of digital ARCHIVES that cover gender studies and women’s/queer movements globally resp. are based in the gloabl south. 

What does ‘polygender’ mean? What does the acronym ‘CEDAW’ refer to?  Or what pronoun is ‘hir’ or ‘xemself’? Who is a ‘femocrat? What do we mean by ‘gender machinery’? – Many terms in gender studies need explanation and discussion. Read More

In this section you find selected links to archives, that at least in part, give you online access to their materials. These archives either address global feminisms or are based in the Global South. They offer a wealth of resources to further explore the topics addressed in the modules. Read More

In this project, we have engaged with the dilemmas of power and reflexivity that face academics working across both disciplinary and transnational boundaries. These power differentials are both spatial and temporal. Read More

TraGS is a participatory learning tool and a resource for students and teachers. With the aim to develop transnational perspectives in Gender Studies a diverse team worked on introducing you to Indian, (South)African, Islamic and Transnational Feminisms and you find modules on those four topics. We then also go beyond these repositories and include two modules on cross cutting and exemplary themes: forced migration and gender-based violence. You find all this in ‘Content’. Additionally, we provide a ‘Framework’—looking at glossaries, archives, didactics as some elements to discuss and to further develop the discourse: What are transnational perspectives in Gender Studies? Is it possible to go beyond national and cultural positionings and standpoints?
