Gender

The question of gender relationships and gender stereotypes has come to the fore recently owing to the distressing statistics and news emerging about femicides and domestic violence in Greece, Cyprus, and globally. This thematic priority will seek to examine, and call attention to, the position of women in Greece and Cyprus from various disciplinary and cross-disciplinary angles, both domestically and in a comparative perspective. Besides our current project on media discourses on femicides in Greece, we are developing projects on gender-based occupational segregation, the position of women in Greek politics, everyday sexism, and attitudes towards domestic violence against women, intra-household inequality, female poverty, and others.
