Gender Lunch is a recurring event that brings together researchers from across the University of Copenhagen for an informal lunch with an academic twist. Every month, a different faculty acts as host, creating a rotating setting where diverse academic traditions and perspectives on gender can meet.
The aim of Gender Lunch is to provide space for interdisciplinary conversations about gender and diversity – both as research fields and as lived experiences in academia. Over a shared meal, one or more researchers introduce a current theme, ongoing research, an article, a project, or teaching practice in the field. This serves as a starting point for discussion and exchange of perspectives.
The event is open to all faculty with an interest in gender research and related topics.
Participation is free, but registration is required ahead of each lunch, send an email to:

Gender Lunch Presentations
This time we look forward to contributions from professor Pernille Bjørn and Phd Anne Holten Pind both sharing on what gender means for their research.
- Presentation by Professor Pernille Bjørn from Department of Computer Science
Pernille will explain how exploring gender in computer science is about ensuring inclusive perspectives when we design digital technologies, and further, how gender inclusivity is critical for creating robust and strong IT technologies.
- Presentation by Phd Anne Pind from Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management
Anne will tell us about her work, ‘On Unintended Ground: Spaces of feminist environmental learning within the Swedish women’s movement (1900–1954)’.
