Gender

[close] The Århus Feminist Reading Group was founded in May 2017. During this time, the group has met to discuss articles, books, poems and short stories, building new connections between people and generating discussion and personal reflection with each new meeting. The collective would like to create a space here for more sustained discussion and conversation about the books we read together. A priority of the group is inclusivity and diversity, and so with this in mind, the group is not an academic project and prior knowledge of feminist theory is not required.

[close] Hello, jelly beans and mushrooms! This is a book club to read Queer and BIPoC literature, science fiction and decolonising our library. Come read with me, it's a safe space where we have discussions and talk about this dystopian "reality". There will be a new book every 2-3 months, most of them will be free and available online unless otherwise. I will be setting up a discord where discussions will take place, so stay tuned :))) Okay, well let's read!

[close] This group is focused on the sub-genre of Science Fiction that explores feminist issues such as women's roles in society. Feminist Sci-Fi poses questions about gender roles, sexuality, reproduction, and power structures between men and women. Sci-Fi allows authors the freedom to create utopias illustrating worlds free of sexism, homophobia and prejudice, as well as dystopias where the gender divide is exaggerated in order to open a dialogue regarding the role of social constructs in understanding gender. Emphasis (though not exclusively) on the women authors of science fiction as they are often under-represented in the genre.
