The Marie Jahoda Centre also plays an important role for young academics. At RUB, the doctorate in Gender Studies is carried out at the Faculty of Philology. All doctoral students at Ruhr-Universität Bochum are automatically members of the RUB Research School. Here, doctoral candidates will find a wide range of opportunities for the best possible realisation of their research project as well as a continuous exchange with other doctoral candidates. This is supplemented by programmes offered by the Research Academy Ruhr. Further networking in the UA Ruhr also takes place within the framework of GeFoR.
The event series Young Gender Scholars meet … brings together students, doctoral candidates, rising stars of gender studies and established researchers in an intensive research dialogue. The series offers an insight into the everyday university research life of our early career researchers. As part of YGSM, they report on their own research projects and results. In addition, current theoretical and methodological developments and debates are discussed.
YGSM was launched in 2018 by Dr Anike Krämer and Maximiliane Brand. The series was originally funded as a project by the Foundation for Cultural Studies and organised by an interdisciplinary group of doctoral students with a focus on the category of ‘gender’.
The series will be continued as part of the Gender Lab. Once a semester, doctoral students present their dissertation projects in a workshop that is open to all status groups. The workshop is supplemented by a public lecture by established academics invited by the doctoral students.
