Next Distinguished Lecture on NeuroGenderings 13. February 2025

The brain is increasingly conceived as an open biological system developing in mutual interchange with experiences (brain plasticity). Such embodying of the social contests the nature-nurture dichotomy as well as binary sex differences, and, instead, highlights the sex/gender development of brain-behaviour relations. In the transdisciplinary NeuroGenderings network, scholars from neurosciences, gender/queer and feminist science technology studies develop conceptual approaches to analyze the entangled biological, social, and cultural variables that constitute sexed/gendered brains whilst acknowledging their diversity.
