FREIA was a gender research centre at Aalborg University, Denmark (1991-2022). We are currently reorganizing and will be back soon in a new format!politics-society.aau.dk/research/resea… Aalborg, DenmarkJoined August 2020
FREIA’s twitter profile will be inactive for some time while we reflect upon how to reorganize gender research at AAU. Stay tuned – we will be back! 6/6
We want to thank everybody who have contributed to our community – former staff, Danish and international colleagues, students, administrative support, visiting PhDs, guest researchers, interns… THANK YOU for your generosity and commitment! 5/6
As of today, the Center for Gender Research (FREIA) at AAU ceases to exist. The Center was founded more than 30 years ago by some of the pioneers of gender research in Denmark 🧵1/6
