Research

The research work of the Institute is informed by the belief that all social processes are 'gendered', and that understanding gender relations is therefore a crucial component in any social science research. Some of the projects undertaken at the Institute focus directly on the position of girls and women, the contemporary character of gender relations, and the formation of sexual identities. Others employ a gendered perspective to address issues not normally considered as gender concerns. The focus of the research projects ranges across local, national and international contexts, and the relationship between gender and ethnicity has become an increasingly prominent concern.  The director of our research programme is Dr Clare Hemmings.

All members of the Institute are actively engaged in publishing the results of their research and information on this can be found both in LSE Experts, and by referring to the individual faculty pages which can be accessed via the Who's who section: this includes links to our academic staff and their projects, as well as to affiliated LSE staff and research students.  You can also link to our events page - these seminars are open to all.
