Summary: Gender equality is the ﬁfth UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 5). It aims to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women and girls. To this end, SDG 5 addresses all forms of violence based on sex or gender, unequally distributed unpaid and unacknowledged care and domestic work, unequal access to resources, as well as the need for equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life. Thus, the areas in which changes with regard to gender equality on a global scale are needed are very broad. In this volume we focus on three areas of inquiry that are especially pertinent with regard to SDG 5: “politics of difference”, “sexuality”, and “care, work and family”. These areas have been core feminist topics since the 1970s and have proven to be of high importance in societies’ aim of transitioning to gender equality. Each thematic ﬁeld is introduced by an interview that explores the subject area with regard to important genealogies, theoretic developments, and current challenges in general terms. The format of the dialogue allows for the contextualization of the interviewed experts, their personal approach to the thematic ﬁeld, as well as to their theoretical, methodological and practical knowledge and experience.

Gender equality is the ﬁfth UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 5). It aims
to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women and girls. To this end, SDG 5
addresses all forms of violence based on sex or gender, unequally distributed unpaid
and unacknowledged care and domestic work, unequal access to resources, as well
as the need for equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making
in political, economic and public life. Thus, the areas in which changes with regard
to gender equality on a global scale are needed are very broad. In this volume we
focus on three areas of inquiry that are especially pertinent with regard to SDG 5:
“politics of difference”, “sexuality”, and “care, work and family”. These areas have
been core feminist topics since the 1970s and have proven to be of high importance
in societies’ aim of transitioning to gender equality. Each thematic ﬁeld is introduced
by an interview that explores the subject area with regard to important genealogies,
theoretic developments, and current challenges in general terms. The format of the
dialogue allows for the contextualization of the interviewed experts, their personal
