Project team: | Prof. Dr. Marion Müller (in cooperation with Dr. Nicole Zillien and |
Funding: | |
Duration: | 1.12.2016—30.11.2019 |
The focus is on the hitherto largely unexplored institution of birth preparation courses in Germany and their significance for the potential re-traditionalisation of the division of labour within the family in the transition to parenthood. The project investigates whether and to what extent the "traditionalisation effect" of the gender-specific division of labour, which is proven with the birth of the first child, is already set in motion during pregnancy, e.g. by developing and testing the expectancy structures relevant for the mother role in the birth preparation courses conducted by midwives.
The Persistence of a Two-Gender Culture
Doctoral Network “The Persistence of a Two-Gender Culture‘ “
(Centre for Gender and Diversity Research, ZGD)
Team: | Prof. Dr. Marion Müller, Prof. Dr. Regina Ammicht Quinn, Prof. Dr. Ingrid Hotz-Davis, Dr. Gero Bauer, Dipl.-Soz. Patrick Bresemann, Hanna Roth, M.A., Laura Völkle, M.A., Ferestheh Yousefi, M.A. |
Funding: | State Graduate Funding Baden-Württemberg (Landesgraduiertenförderung Baden-Württemberg) |
Duration: | 12.2017—11.2020 |
The doctoral network is to explore the overarching question of how and why the idea of a purely binary gender is so stable - contrary to the simultaneousness of manifold evidence of non-binary models of gender, sexuality and partnership. By bringing together ethical-theological, literary/cultural-scientific and sociological perspectives, the individual projects will use their respective case studies and methods to fathom which discourses and practices contribute to the stabilization of bisexuality and under which conditions and in which contexts a particular abolition of the assumption of a clear two-gender system becomes possible.
