Dr S.P. Dudink (Stefan)

In my courses for Gender and Diversity studies I introduce students to research that emphasizes the social and cultural aspects of sexuality. The historical variability and socio-cultural diversity of, as well as political conflicts over, sexuality, are central to my teaching. I teach introductory courses sexuality studies, as well as courses on sexuality and history, globalization, and media culture.

As researcher with the History Department I concentrate on the meanings of gender and sexuality in modern Dutch and Western political and military culture. I concentrate in particular on meanings of masculinity in nationalism, national identity, monarchy, citizenship and military service, and on the meanings of homosexuality in conflicts over national identity, immigration, and multiculturalism.
