Anelis Kaiser

Anelis Kaiser is a professor of gender studies in STEM at University of Freiburg, Germany. She received her PhD in psychology in 2008 from the University of Basel, Switzerland. In her doctoral work, she examined sex/gender in the brain as it relates to exploring the existence of paradigmatic, methodological, and statistical defaults that interfere with assessing the presence or absence of sex/gender differences. Her areas of interest include empirical neurofeminism, feminist science and technology studies, neurolinguistics, the classification and registration of sex/gender in science and technology, fMRI, and justice movements. In the last few years, her research has focused on feminist methods and statistical approaches of experimentation in human neuroscience in order provide a gender-theory-informed but data-driven contribution from within the neuroscientific labs. She is a co-founder of the international research network NeuroGenderings.
