Available Open Access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.The concept of ‘generations’ has become a widely discussed area, with recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic revealing our dependence on intergenerational relationships both within and beyond the family. However, the concept can often be misunderstood, which can fuel divisions between age groups rather than generating solutions. This collection introduces and explores the growing field of generational studies, providing a comprehensive overview of its strengths and limitations. With contributions from academics across a range of disciplines, the book showcases the concept’s interdisciplinary potential by applying a generational lens to fields including sociology, literature, history, psychology, media studies and politics. Offering fresh perspectives, this original collection is a valuable addition to the field, opening new avenues for generational thinking.

How did feminism shape the rise of gender studies in Europe? Using a generational lens, this book offers fresh insights and perspectives on the development and consolidation of gender studies in Europe. With contributions from pioneering women scholars who built and sustained the European Sociological Association’s Research Network 33, it provides an unprecedented account of how feminism and women’s studies were the catalyst for a gender turn in academic thought. Highlighting the interdisciplinary innovations feminism brought to the field, this is a vital exploration of the lasting impact of generations of scholars on European and global gender studies.

Can I be a good scientist and a good mother? This haunting question shapes the lives of many academic women. This book examines the double-lock linking maternity and academic careers in contemporary Italy: how motherhood—and even its anticipation—shapes recruitment, evaluation and stabilization, and how academic competitiveness and precarity, in turn, reshape fertility choices and timing. Drawing on narrative interviews with two generations of scholars and engaging with international literature, it shows how institutional cultures and gendered expectations reinforce structural constraints while normalizing unequal trade-offs. It identifies pathways to rethink academic careers so that excellence and parenthood can coexist.
