What is biological sex – what is ‘sex’? Current research from the life sciences on ‘sex diversity’ is now opening up entirely new perspectives on anatomical and functional gender diversity in different gender contexts. Researchers from genetics, sexual sciences, hormone research, brain research, biological didactics, medicine and health sciences will report on their research results, their initiatives for knowledge transfer and gender-reflected approaches for socially contextualised research. Representatives from medical practice will present newly established medical care concepts for diverse gender bodies.
The colloquium offers space for transdisciplinary dialogue and more intensive collaborations in order to decisively advance approaches to diversity and the interaction of sex and gender. The joint interdisciplinary exchange with all those present can make life science research findings on gender diversity fruitful for gender studies. For biology, medicine and health sciences, it provides gender-theoretical perspectives for the socio-cultural contextualisation of their own research.
