Gender

[close] Girls Against began as a campaign that aimed to establish a discussion of the issue of sexual assault at gigs and although this discussion has been firmly established, we are still working on expanding it. We are hoping to use this book club to bring to light the issues surrounding it - i.e the deep-rooted attitudes installed in our culture that have made sexual assault at gigs commonplace. We want to stimulate discussion whilst also amplifying the voices of authors whose views are in alignment with the campaigns whether they are authors of fiction/non-fiction texts or poetry. We'd love for you to join us in reading and discussing some thought-provoking and interesting texts!

[close] This group is focused on the sub-genre of Science Fiction that explores feminist issues such as women's roles in society. Feminist Sci-Fi poses questions about gender roles, sexuality, reproduction, and power structures between men and women. Sci-Fi allows authors the freedom to create utopias illustrating worlds free of sexism, homophobia and prejudice, as well as dystopias where the gender divide is exaggerated in order to open a dialogue regarding the role of social constructs in understanding gender. Emphasis (though not exclusively) on the women authors of science fiction as they are often under-represented in the genre.

[close] The Århus Feminist Reading Group was founded in May 2017. During this time, the group has met to discuss articles, books, poems and short stories, building new connections between people and generating discussion and personal reflection with each new meeting. The collective would like to create a space here for more sustained discussion and conversation about the books we read together. A priority of the group is inclusivity and diversity, and so with this in mind, the group is not an academic project and prior knowledge of feminist theory is not required.

[close] Feminist literature and women's history. All the books you're curious about but have never gotten around to reading! Mostly non-fiction, maybe some poetry.
