We are happy to inform that Prof. Agnieszka Graff and Prof. Elzbieta Bekiesza-Korolczuk received The Bronislaw Malinowski Award in the Social Sciences from the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America for their book Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment published with Routledge in 2021.
Read the award announcement.
The book Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment examines the new phase of global struggles around gender equality and sexual democracy: the ultraconservative mobilization against “gender ideology” and feminist efforts to counteract it. It argues that anti-gender campaigns, which emerged around 2010 in Europe, are not a simple continuation of earlier trends (backlash), but part of a new political configuration: the rise of right-wing populism and its opportunistic synergy with religious fundamentalism.
The book was first published with Routledge in September of 2021 and is available in open access on Taylor & Francis eBooks.
Also available is a Polish version of the book Kto się boi gender? Prawica, populizm i feministyczne strategie oporu published by Wydawnictwo Krytyka Polityczna.
The discussion around the book held at our Center on the occasion of its launch is available on our YouTube channel.
We congratulate the authors and wish the best of luck in carrying out future projects!
