Sophia, Belgian Gender Studies Network

sophia, the belgian gender studies network, is a bilingual (nl-fr) non-profit organisation funded by the institute for equality of women and men. sophia’s primary aim is to foster research and teaching in fields of gender, intersectionality, and queer studies in belgium. it also wants to stimulate and coordinate collaboration in this field: across disciplines and between different universities, between the dutch- and french-speaking communities in belgium, and between midfield organisations, activism, policy makers and the academic community. we work towards these goals by organising yearly conferences, thematic activities and collaborations with external partners. additionally, we host several networks that offer spaces for connection and collaboration. our website, newsletter and social media are the main online platforms we use for knowledge-sharing.
