My research project
A “true” challenge for full realisation of human rights? Feminist perspective on the approach towards gender stereotyping presented by the Council of Europe
My project aims at examining how gender stereotypes are problematized in the work of the Council of Europe. The research is positioned in the broader context of human rights and their role in elimination of harmful gender stereotyping.
Passed PhD confirmation December 2018.
