RESIST Project Press Release. EU Funded Project "RESIST: Fostering Queer Feminist Intersectional Resistances against Transnational Anti-Gender Politics" Launches

Description

Abstract (English)

Title: Europe-wide study of ‘anti-gender’ politics launches
Headline: RESIST will aim to investigate so-called ‘anti-gender’ politics across the continent.
Lead: A project looking into the development of so-called ‘anti-gender’ politics across Europe was formally launched in Dublin.

The RESIST study will run for four years and is backed by over €4 million of funding, including support from the European Union, and UK and Swiss governments. RESIST will examine politics that seek to limit gendered freedoms, trans* inclusion, multiculturalism, gender and sexual equality.

Prof. Kath Browne, project leader at University College Dublin said: “This is a big moment for our consortium’s effort to contest these so-called ‘anti-gender’ politics. The RESIST project will explore the consequences these political developments have on lived experiences, freedom of speech, academic freedom, reproductive justice,
and gender and sexual diversity in Europe.”
