TraGS is a participatory learning tool and a resource for students and teachers. With the aim to develop transnational perspectives in Gender Studies a diverse team worked on introducing you to Indian, (South)African, Islamic and Transnational Feminisms and you find modules on those four topics. We then also go beyond these repositories and include two modules on cross cutting and exemplary themes: forced migration and gender-based violence. You find all this in ‘Content’. Additionally, we provide a ‘Framework’—looking at glossaries, archives, didactics as some elements to discuss and to further develop the discourse: What are transnational perspectives in Gender Studies? Is it possible to go beyond national and cultural positionings and standpoints?
