*Course Description:*
This PhD course concentrates on the ongoing work of the participating PhD
students on kinship, care and support networks located at sexual and
gendered margins. The experienced lecturers have the aim of helping the PhD
students to advance and complete their dissertation projects with the
highest international quality.
The course literature comprises scholarship ranging from feminist and
anthropological theory to queer studies on kinship and relatedness to the
politics and legal constellations of family, kinship and care relations.
The course focuses on developing PhD student projects, where all of the
projects cluster around a set of themes related to a contemporary
discussion of kinship/relationality and various axes of inequality or
marginalisation (in particular, sexuality and gender).
The expertise of the three lecturers is in a wide area of kinship,
relatedness, gender studies, queer theory and ethnography. All three have
conducted original empirical research on alternative kinship and care
relations, published widely in this area, and contributed towards
re-invigorating contemporary ethnographic and methodological approaches.
The lecturers are prepared to comment on empirical, methodological and/or
theoretical aspects of PhD research papers and students’ original research
or fieldwork. However, theoretical projects that comment on the existing
work of various scholars that intersect with gender studies, queer theory
and kinship politics are also very welcome.
