ICGP

The International Research Center – Gender and Performativity (ICGP) is an mdw research institution for interdisciplinary research and teaching in gender studies at the interface of performance and theater studies, film and media studies, and musicology. Our work is focused on the performing arts, political forms of performance, and theories of performativity. Based at the Department of Cultural Management and Gender Studies (IKM), we aim to advance and connect globally, critical approaches to gender, queer and trans studies and to examine the staging of gender and desire in different historical, geographical and institutional settings.

We look forward to discussing these issues with you in our events and in classes that are also open to students from other universities. As the only art university in Austria, the ICGP offers the opportunity to obtain a doctorate in Gender Studies with a corresponding profile. Researchers from our working field that are interested in collaboration and seek funding are warmly invited to get in touch with us. We are happy to advice concerning the possibility of establishing a research project at ICGP and to support third party funded projects in the application processes and, if funding is successfully acquired, infrastructure (rooms, publication funding, etc.).
