Research Network on Military, War and Gender/Diversity founded

On 11 March 2024, the Research Network on Military, War and Gender/Diversity (MKGD) was founded to provide an academic space for this important field of research in the German, European and transatlantic region. The MKGD Research Network is currently a cooperation of 30 researchers from various disciplines from universities and non-university research institutions of eight countries (Germany, France, Great Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and the USA) in collaboration with the Centre for Military History and Social Sciences of the German Armed Forces (ZMSBw). The aim of the research network is to systematically work on the research approach and subject of gender/diversity, military, violence and war through intensive collaboration. In addition to a website, the research network currently comprises a mailing list linked to the University of the German Armed Forces Munich, an online research colloquium, which will begin in the summer semester of 2024 and regularly comprise four events in the summer and three in the winter, and an annual thematic face-to-face workshop in conjunction with a writing workshop for doctoral students.

Speakers of the research network:

Prof. Dr Isabelle Deflers, Professor of Early Modern History, University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich, Faculty of Political and Social Sciences.
Prof. Dr Karen Hagemann, James G. Kenan Distinguished Professor of History and Adjunct Professor of the Curriculum in Peace, War, and Defense, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
