Julia Sachseder and Saskia Stachowitsch (affiliated with the CEU’s Department of Gender Studies and Department of IR) have published Gendering EU security strategies: a feminist postcolonial approach to the EU as a (global) security actor. The publication is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) project “Risky Borders. Gender and Race in EU Border Security”. 

Visiting PhD student at our department Kristina Orszaghová was awarded an Honourable Mention in the Young Researcher Award competition of the European Association for the Sociology of Sport. The article presented is titled "Listening to Boxing Hearts and Beats: Analysing Boxing (Through) Soundscapes". Building on the more than two-year-long ethnographic research among the boxing communities in Central and Eastern Europe, Kristina analyses boxing as a sonic, corporeal, and social practice. Prof.
