Said about Gender Studies
“The research unit was, in my opinion, very impressive. I was encouraged by the pool of resources available—i.e. the strengths of including individuals with different academic backgrounds was a terrific change from many other academic units.” Visiting Researcher 2010
“One of the trademarks of the department is a creative writing style, used by the faculty. It allows breaking the rigid academic frameworks and applying a broader number of tools to describe, analyze and interpret researched issues. Apart from being interdisciplinary, the intellectual environment of the department is also very international. This contributes to broadening of perspectives and incorporation cross-cultural dimensions and local experiences into research.” Visiting Researcher 2010
“Excellent array of seminars, talks, and conferences. I heard prominent speakers there that I had never heard in the U.S.!” Visiting Researcher 2010
“There was possibly too much going so I did less personal research work than I had hoped, but the intensive interaction with other scholars at all levels was invaluable.” Visiting Researcher 2010
“Very stimulating; lots of opportunities for formal and informal exchanges.” Visiting Researcher 2010
“Everything was first class. The process of making arrangements, the stay itself—all were handled with utmost professionalism.” Visiting Researcher 2010
