Feminist research, gender studies, queer studies, critical studies on men and masculinities, and trans studies share the same roots and political goals. These fields also share common concepts and theoretical frameworks. They have a close relationship to activism and aim for societal change. Many researchers work simultaneously in many of these academic fields and feel that they belong to more than one of them.
Now, for the first time ever, the Finnish academic associations and networks representing these disciplines jointly organize a national conference. Paluu Juurille 2024 (Return to the Roots 2024) conference will be held in City Centre Campus of Tampere University on 2-3 May 2024.
