Statement of the Network of University Teachers against banning the Gender Studies Program

I am a Professor of Gender, Social Change and Development and this is an extremely backward and retrograde step. It suggests a fear of knowledge that could bring greater equality and social justice to society.
Gender analysis also assists us to understand aspects of our lives that are complex but determine so much of how and why we behave as we do.
Its reach should actually be expanded not reduced.

I think abolishment of an established branch of knowledge is not a solusion. If there are issues that can be discussed and modified .

The teaching and learning of gender is important for promoting gender equality and social justice. The proposed abolition of the Gender Studies Program is an infringement on the academic freedom of the University and our freedom to pursue knowledge!

wird die freiheit der forschung in diesem bereich eingeschränkt, ist und bleibt die nachwievor patriarchal dominierte wissenschaft auf einem auge blind und verpasst die erforschung und reflexion relevanter gesellschaftlicher prozesse.

Weil es mir als römisch-katholischer Theologin und Erwachsenenbildnerin ein besonderes Anleigen ist, dass serös an Genderfragen gearbeitet wird, anstatt Verschwörungstheorien über angbeliche Ziele von "Genderideolognnen" zu verbreiten.

I am a Professor of Women and Development Studies and currently Dean of the College of Social Work and Community Development of the University of the Philippines. I have high regards for the CEU and ELTFE mainly because of the work of some its scholars in women's studies.

Gender Studies provides economic analysis of the economy and underpins social sciences and humanities for a modern progressive economy.
Governments should not interfere with academic freedoms to study.

Gender is a fundamental dimension of social organization: there can be no reliable sociology nor science based on ignorance of gender dynamics.

Geschlechterforschung ist eine kritische Wissenschaft, die sich mit Differenzkonstruktionen und Machtverhältnissen befasst. Studierende entwickeln dabei grundlegende analytische und theoretisch-methodische Kompetenzen im Umgang mit kulturellem Wissen und die Fähigkeit zum interdisziplinären Arbeiten. Deshalb: Geschlechterforschung unterstützen!
