Interdisciplinary workshop under the scientific direction of Dr. Jessica Bock (Berlin) and Dr. Stefanie Eisenhuth (Potsdam)

The workshop examines the relationship between gender and power in the state socialist context: How were gender-specific hierarchies legitimized and stabilized - despite formal equality? Which theoretical approaches help to grasp power beyond official positions? In an exchange on current research projects, the participants will discuss how normative orders, social differences and individual scope for action interact - and what new perspectives this opens up for a gender history of the GDR.

Further information will follow shortly.
