NGender is a gender and sexuality research related seminar series, organised at the University of Sussex. The aim is to host interdisciplinary papers by postgraduate and early careers scholars with gender or sexuality as a theme or focus of the research. It is an opportunity for them to present their work-in-progress and get feedback in a supportive scholarly environment, at an institution with a strong reputation for gender-related research.
An important driving philosophy behind the series is to build a sense of community between faculty and students working on these topics, especially those not affiliated to traditional gender studies courses. Over the years the series has brought together people from Sussex and beyond, across departments and disciplines, to share ideas and discover new trends and developments.
For the year 2012-2013 NGender has been awarded funding from the University of Sussex’ Doctoral School’s Researcher-Led Initiative (RLI) Fund for special events.
