QUING: Gender equality in the European Union
Summary: Quing is an Integrated Project funded by the European Union under Framework 6 to investigate gender and citizenship in a multicultural context, 2006-2011. We compare the meanings of gender equality and the policies associated with them in each of the 25 EU member states, together with 4 would-be EU members. This involves close textual analysis of key policy documents on gender equality in employment, gender-based violence and intimate citizenship, as well as the comparative analysis of the varied institutional and social structural environments under which these meanings develop. Quing will contribute to the development of gender theory, especially in relation to intersectionality and to the theorisation of differences in gender regimes, as well as to more effective gender equality policies. Profesor Sylvia Walby is the Principal Investigator of Quing Lancaster; Dr Jo Armstrong and Sofia Strid are the Research Associates
