What concepts of ‘gender’ and ‘diversity’ emerge in the different regions and pertinent research and practical fields? On the back drop of current European developments – from the deregulation of economy, a shrinking welfare state to the dissolution and reinforcement of borders – the book examines the development of Gender and Diversity Studies in different European regions as well as beyond and focuses on central fields of theoretical reflection, empirical research and practical implementation policies and politics.
Anti-discrimination policies of the EU contribute to an institutionalization of Gender and Diversity Studies and interact with legal, political, societal and economic factors which shape the academic and practical fields. Pressure towards the deregulation of economy, the reduction of welfare state institutions, increased requirements of mobility for individuals and, at the same time, stronger regulations of migration have an impact on research and theory development in the field of Gender and Diversity Studies. While certain rights and anti-discrimination policies are being strengthened within the EU, and while inner borders between member states dissolve and – recently at the same time partially also increase – external borders of Europe are simultaneously being enforced. The large flows of refugee migration towards and into Europe has put these questions on top of the agenda.
Taking these processes as well as social and political changes in different European and border regions into account, the state of the art as well as future perspectives of Gender and Diversity Studies are debated from multiple European and border perspectives. What concepts of ‘gender’ and ‘diversity’ emerge in the different regions and fields of studies?

- anti-discrimination, law and policies
- social movements and politics
- work and organizations
- higher education and the sciences
- intersectionality

This volume is a great teaching and learning resource for engaging with gender studies as well as more interdisciplinary engagements with topics relating to gender and diversity from a social science perspective. It covers a wide range of topics and regions (e.g. Tunisia, Russia, Germany, etc.). The authors show how the development of the academic field of gender and diversity as a social science is linked to policy developments in Europe and specifically highlight different ways that diversity and anti-discrimination play a role in policy and research. It is refreshing that the chapters are written by scholars, practitioners and scholars working in practice oriented contexts, which ensures that the content is theory as well as practice and policy oriented, showing different methodological approaches and recent research findings at this intersection. Especially the discussion questions at the end of each chapter make this volume very suitable for teaching and self-study.
