Gender Studies in Ukraine: long way from 90s to today
(2020) Martsenyuk, Tamara; Pastushok, Anastasia; Kornieva, Tetiana
The fall of the Soviet Union marked the beginning of a new period in the history of all the countries of the former Communist bloc, including Ukraine, characterized by the ideological, political and economic turn towards the liberalization and the democratization of the society. This transition and redefinition of social and political norms also meant the emergence of new causes in public debate, as well as the emergence of new academic fields. Gender studies became one of the new fields that appeared in scientific circles in the beginning of the 90s, quickly gained recognition in the academic world throughout the 90s and developed into a fairly institutionalized field that it is today. In Ukraine, as elsewhere in the countries of the former socialist bloc, during the decade 1990-2000, gender went “from the status of absolute theoretical novelty to that of a field of expertise established institutionally and recognized as much in academic circles as in those of political decision making” (Cîrstocea, 2019, p. 12).
