ARC-GS brings together UvA researchers who work on questions of gender and/or sexuality. Institutionally, ARC-GS is embedded within the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research, one of the largest research institutes with the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. As such, the activities of ARC-GS are mainly concerned with social scientific research.

Currently, ARC-GS has approximately 85 members, including about 35 PhD candidates. All researchers (from PhD students to Full Professors) within the Amsterdam Institute for Social Sciences Research (AISSR) are eligible for membership, and we also consider gender and sexuality scholars from other research institutes and faculties at the UvA. Please send us an email if you think you are eligible and want to become a member. 

Please find a list of all current members and visiting scholars members below.
