The start of the 21st century has been marked by deepening globalisation, global financial crises and unprecedented change across social, cultural, economic, and political domains. Such conditions pose complex challenges for individuals, communities, economies and polities � as well as offering many opportunities for innovative and creative transformation.

Gender ARC is organized into two principal research groups: Gender and Public Policy and Gender and Gender, Discourse and Identities .
