Critical Gender Studies Journal

Critical Gender Studies Group (CGSG)

Critical Gender Studies Group (CGSG) is an international network of scholars, activists, and practitioners who are committed to advancing new debates and promoting activism in gender studies.  CGSG aims to explore how gender and sexuality shape and are shaped by various social, cultural, historical, and political contexts. It also examines how gender and sexuality intersect with other aspects of identity, such as race, class, ethnicity, religion, disability, and nationality. It seeks to challenge the assumptions and norms that underlie gender and sexual relations and to promote social justice and equality for all people.
