Gender as a symbolic glue makes European freedom of education at stake

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract (may include machine translation)

During the last summer, the Hungarian government proposed to ban gender studies at universities. The position and role of conservative and far-right parties in the anti-gender mobilizations in Europe is not anymore a surprise. But this state intervention in university programmes shows that the concept of ‘gender’ become a central rhetorical tool of those efforts that try to determine for the wide audience what “pure reason” should mean, and thereby try to create a new consensus of what should be seen as normal and legitimate.
