Genders in dissolution?

The Distinguished Lecturer Series (DLS) of CRC 1665 regularly brings together researchers from different disciplines to engage in critical dialogue on a wide range of topics covered by the umbrella term „Sexdiversity“. On 15 January 2026, the iRTG of the CRC 1665 welcomed Stefan Hirschauer, Professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz and Speaker of the CRC 1482 “Human Differentiation”. He gave a public lecture with the title “Genders in dissolution? Sex & gender in historical change”. The lecture took place at the Center for Brain, Behavior and Metabolism (CBBM) of the University of Lübeck.

Distinguished Lecturer Series – Daphna Joel Lecture Now Available on YouTube

In this lecture, Daphna Joel challenges the long-held assumption of a sex binary in neuroscience and psychology. Drawing on her research, she demonstrates that most human brains are unique “mosaics” of features more common in either women or men. This finding suggests that sex alone explains very little about brain structure or behavior, calling for a reevaluation of how we study and understand sex and gender in the brain.
