Gender Diversity and Political Identities

Abstract

Old controversies about whether woman/man categories emerge from biology (“sex”) or society (“gender”), have given way to more nuanced theoretical formulations that conceptualize the mutual role of both biology and society, and the nearly limitless variation this interaction produces. Thus, the idea of gender diversity is firmly rooted in academic research, but empirical measures capturing such diversity are still rare. This panel include papers in the front-line of empirical studies on gender diversity and political identities.
