During Revolution! we dive into the history of gender identity with professor Geertje Mak. An expert on gender identity and its politics, she will show how our historical ideas about gender do not always match with the historical facts. How has our conception of gender changed over the past 100 years? What is the difference in our understanding of ‘male’ and ‘female’ now and then? And what about the political implications of these changes?
Prof. dr. Geertje Mak is professor of gender and its political history at the University of Amsterdam. Her research has focused on the understanding of the history of gender (identity), sexuality, and their political implications.
