Lova, the Netherlands Association for Feminist Anthropology and Gender Studies
Our Lova Network aims to foster a community of feminist anthropologists and gender studies scholars and practitioners both within and outside of academia.
It is our mission to promote feminist anthropology and ethnographic gender studies and to communicate new theoretical insights to a broad audience within universities and other relevant institutions and organisations.
We organize working groups and events, we publish a journal and blogs, and we share information about events and vacancies via our Lova Mail Service and on our social media. Search this website for finding out what we do.

Blogs
By Szonja Szabó. Why the phrase of ‘feminine writing’ (écriture feminine) is problematic. It might insert writing into gendered hierarchies. We should avoid normalising patriarchal structures by accepting their vocabulary.
Journal
Each year we publish a journal in hard copy which is sent to members. It consists of research articles, (photo)essays, fieldwork reflections, interviews and book reviews.
