The GRADE Center Gender is an organisation within GRADE, the central academic institution of Goethe University for the interdisciplinary qualification of young academics in the early career phase. The content of the Gender Centre is planned and implemented by the Cornelia Goethe Centrum.
This event explores the central role of emotions and affects as political, collective, and historically situated forces that shape feminist mobilizations, experiences of violence, and processes of knowledge production. By focusing on these distinct yet intertwined aspects, we invite interdisciplinary and transnational dialogue on how feelings—such as fear, shame, and numbness—circulate within feminist movements and within the research practices that engage with gender-based violence.
