GENA: database for Swedish dissertations in gender research

The database was finalized in 2022 and covers the period from 1960 to 2022. The database includes doctoral theses in women's, men's, and gender studies from Swedish academic institutions.

This encompasses research that problematizes how gender is made, constructed, and created at different levels in culture and society. Women's, men's, and gender studies include gender equality research (investigating injustices in society related to gender and proposing measures to address them), women's studies (women and femininity), feminist research (emancipatory research with a focus on power), men's studies/masculinity research (men and masculinity), and queer research (critique of heteronormativity).
