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
