As an interdisciplinary branch of research, women's and gender studies have permeated the fields of art and science. In Architecture and Urban Planning, as well as in cultural studies, media studies and engineering sciences, the analytical category of »gender« is also becoming increasingly important and becoming intertwined with other social order systems. For example, gender issues play an important role in planning, using or appropriating spaces, buildings or media. The text below is meant to introduce four women’s and gender studies online databases to members of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar to help conduct in-depth research on these topics.
