Collaboration with Routledge

The Division of Gender Studies at Linköping University (LiU) is collaborating with the reputed international publishing house Routledge, which publishes academic literature in the humanities and social sciences.

The company is publishing a series of scientific books with Gender Studies professors Nina Lykke and Jeff Hearn as editors in chief. So far the series comprises 13 books with more in the planning stages. Researchers at the Division of Gender Studies have also contributed to the books. So far eight books have been published. The titles include ”Making Gender, Making War”, ”Sexuality, Gender and Power” and ”Feminist Studies”.
Jeff Hearn explains,

“The collaboration with Routledge is a great way to find a bigger audience for outstanding gender research that doesn’t have its origins in English-speaking countries. Those countries tend to dominate the international research field.”
