Abstract
Currently, women’s and gender studies programs exist in many countries around the world. It is a crucial task for the future of this still emerging discipline to enhance international communication and cooperation between study programs, students, scholars, activists, and professionals. If we consider the ideals and concepts of “emancipation” and “participation” as core principles of women’s and gender studies, then our global networking requires systematic inclusion of non-western perspectives at all levels of research, teaching, and curriculum development.
