Russlandbezogene Gender Studies

When conducting research on gender relations in Russia it makes a difference whether one is located in Saratov, Moscow, Vienna or New York. The author tackles questions of the global division of labour within the social sciences and humanities: Where are theories developed, where do they get applied? Who delivers - or even becomes - the empirical data for research? What is the status of Russia-based scholars within this constellation? The limits and possibilities of transnational Russia-related Gender Studies are expounded, based on the analysis of numerous interviews with Russian, American, Austrian, German, and English protagonists in this field. Furthermore, the reader is provided with insights into the current state of affairs of Gender Studies in Russia.
