Stort tillykke til de to vindere af KRAKA-prisen for 2024 og 2025 👏🎉

(English below)

Betül Özkaya modtager KRAKA-prisen 2024 for sin artikel “‘Don’t show them anger because then they think we are criminals’: unequal conditions of anger for minority ethnic young men”.

Özkayas forskning kredser om et spørgsmål, der både er enkelt og dybt overset: Hvem har egentlig ret til at føle – og udtrykke – vrede? Med et stærkt empirisk afsæt i minoritetsetniske unge mænds liv i Danmark viser hun, hvordan vrede ikke blot er en individuel følelse, men en socialt reguleret og ulige fordelt ressource. Hun insisterer på at tage følelser alvorligt som a**lytisk kategori og viser, hvordan maskulinitet, racialisering og sociale positioner former, hvem der har adgang til bestemte emotionelle udtryk. Hendes forskning bringer et vigtigt intersektionelt perspektiv ind i kønsforskningen og åbner for en dybere forståelse af affektiv ulighed.

Özkayas artikel kan læses her 👉https://vbn.aau.dk/ws/portalfiles/portal/811537611/emsoc-article-p423.pdf

Mathias Klitgård modtager KRAKA-prisen 2025 for sin ph.d.-afhandling “Q***r Materialism. Diffractions of New, Q***r, and Historical Materialisms”.

Afhandlingen udmærker sig ved at udvikle en ny teoretisk tilgang, som Klitgård betegner som ‘q***r materialisme’. Q***r materialisme udvikles i krydsfeltet mellem q***rteori, nymaterialisme og historisk materialisme med henblik på at adressere de systemiske og sammenvævede kriser relateret til seksualitet, klima og kapitalisme. Ved at integrere q***rteori med henholdsvis historisk materialisme og nymaterialisme formår Klitgård at fremsætte helt nye bud på, hvordan vi kan forstå, a**lysere og dermed potentielt handle i den aktuelle polykrise, hvor økonomisk, social, økologisk, racemæssig og kønsmæssig ulighed udfordrer vores samtid.

Congratulations to the two winners of the KRAKA Award 2024 and 2025 👏🎉

Betül Özkaya receives the KRAKA award 2024 for her article “‘Don’t show them anger because then they think we are criminals’: unequal conditions of anger for minority ethnic young men”.

Özkaya’s research revolves around a question that is both simple and deeply overlooked: who is actually allowed to feel – and express – anger? Drawing on rich empirical insights into the lives of racialised minority young men in Denmark, she shows how anger is not merely an individual emotion, but a socially regulated and unequally distributed resource. Özkaya insists on taking emotions seriously as an a**lytical category and shows how masculinity, racialisation, and social positioning shape who has access to particular emotional expressions. Her research brings a vital intersectional perspective into gender studies and opens up a deeper understanding of affective inequality.

Mathias Klitgård receives the KRAKA award 2025 for his PhD dissertation “Q***r Materialism. Diffractions of New, Q***r, and Historical Materialisms”.

The dissertation distinguishes itself by developing a new theoretical approach dubbed “Q***r Materialism” by Klitgård. “Q***r materialism” is developed at the intersection of q***r theory, new materialism and historical materialism in order to address systemic and overlapping crises in relation to s*xuality, climate and capitalism. By integrating q***r theory with respectively historical materialism and new materialism, Klitgård manages to put forward entirely new proposals for how we can understand, a**lyze and thereby potentially act in the current poly-crisis, where both economic, social, ecological, racial and gender inequality are challenging our contemporary era.

KRAKA NOMINERING 12 🏆

(English below)

Det tolvte værk i rækken af tolv nominerede til årets KRAKA-pris er:

Merethe Riggelsen Gjørding for ph.d-afhandling: “What could have been? Exploring incarcerated women’s experiences and speculative visions for prevention in Denmark”.

Afhandlingen er et modigt, originalt og dybt nyskabende bidrag til kønsforskning, kritisk kriminologi og velfærdsstatsforskning. Med udgangspunkt i interviews og skriveworkshops med indsatte kvinder og fængselspersonale i Jyderup Fængsel tager værket kvindernes egne erfaringer og fortællinger som afsæt for en kritisk undersøgelse af det straffende velfærdssystem og for udviklingen af et alternativt skadeforebyggende paradigme baseret på et social harm-perspektiv. Med inspiration fra abolitionistiske perspektiver, zemiologi og transformerende retfærdighed anvender afhandlingen kunstbaserede metoder, spekulation og hybride fortællinger til at synliggøre kvindernes livserfaringer og de sociale skader, de møder gennem institutionelle systemer. Værket giver dermed en stærk og nuanceret stemme til kvinder, hvis erfaringer sjældent står centralt i forskningen, samtidig med at det peger mod nye måder at tænke omsorg, ansvarlighed og velfærdsinstitutioner på. Derved leverer forskningen et væsentligt og visionært bidrag til debatten om social retfærdighed og institutionel forandring.

KRAKA NOMINEE 12 🏆

The twelfth work among the twelve nominees for this year’s KRAKA Award is:

Merethe Riggelsen Gjørding for the PhD thesis: “What could have been? Exploring incarcerated women’s experiences and speculative visions for prevention in Denmark”.

The thesis is a bold, original, and highly innovative contribution to gender studies, critical criminology, and welfare state research. Drawing on interviews and writing workshops with incarcerated women and prison staff at Jyderup Prison, the dissertation takes women’s own experiences and narratives as its point of departure for a critical examination of the penal welfare system and for the development of an alternative harm prevention paradigm grounded in a social harm perspective.
Inspired by abolitionist approaches, zemiology, and transformative justice, the study employs arts-based methods, speculation, and hybrid storytelling to foreground women’slived experiences and the social harms they encounter through institutional systems. In doing so, the work gives a powerful and nuanced voice to women whose experiences are often marginalized in research, while also opening up new ways of thinking about care, responsibility, and welfare institutions. It thus makes a significant and visionary contribution to debates on social justice and institutional transformation.

The KRAKA Award honours innovative Danish gender research and will be awarded at the Danish Gender Research Conference on Wednesday 3 June 2026 at the University of Southern Denmark.

KRAKA NOMINERING 11 🏆

(English below)

Det ellevte værk i rækken af tolv nominerede til årets KRAKA-pris er:

Betül Özkaya for artiklen: “‘Don’t show them anger because then they think we are criminals’: unequal conditions of anger for minority ethnic young men”.

Med stor a**lytisk skarphed undersøger artiklen, hvordan vrede formes og reguleres gennem køn, racialisering og sociale magtforhold. Gennem minoritetsetniske unge mænds erfaringer viser Betül Ozkaya, hvordan bestemte følelsesudtryk bliver læst som truende og illegitime. Artiklen bidrager med et vigtigt intersektionelt perspektiv på emotioner, maskulinitet og ulighed i en dansk kontekst. Samtidig formår den at forbinde stærk teori med dybt menneskelige erfaringer og giver stemme til perspektiver, der alt for sjældent tages alvorligt i den offentlige debat.

KRAKA NOMINEE 11 🏆

The eleventh work among the twelve nominees for this year’s KRAKA Award is:

Betül Özkaya for the article: “‘Don’t show them anger because then they think we are criminals’: unequal conditions of anger for minority ethnic young men”.

With great a**lytical acuity, the article examines how anger is shaped and regulated through gender, racialization, and social power relations. Through the experiences of young ethnic minority men, Özkaya demonstrates how certain emotional expressions are interpreted as threatening and illegitimate. The article contributes an important intersectional perspective on emotions, masculinity, and inequality in a Danish context. At the same time, it manages to connect strong theory with deeply human experiences and gives voice to perspectives that are too rarely taken seriously in public debate.

KRAKA NOMINERING 10 🏆

(English below)

Det tiende værk i rækken af tolv nominerede til årets KRAKA-pris er:

Rikke Andreassen for artiklen: “Sex and Women in the Archive and New Imaginaries of Female Same-Sex Relations in the Late Nineteenth Century”.

Artiklen er både metodisk og empirisk nyskabende for LGBT+ historieskrivning. Værkets a**lyser, som bygger på et omfattende arkivarbejde, optegner nye forståelser af kvinders seksuellerelationer i det 19 årh. At anvende medicinske kilder til at belyse kvinders seksualitet i 1800-tallet er en nyskabende måde at tilgå marginaliserede kvinders historieskrivning og seksualitet, og værket giver kvinderne deres seksualitet tilbage på trods og på tværs af klassemæssige skel.
Ved at anvende Hartmans spekulative scenarier og narrative tilgang, bidrager Andreassen desuden med en metode til at læse arkiver, som ellers er produceret ind i patriarkalske magtstrukturerer såsom klinikken og juraen, som tillader både feministiske og q***rede læsninger. Udover at være nyskabende, er artiklen også elegant og medrivende. Kvinderne får lov til at stå i komplekse relationer til sig selv, hinanden og deres samtid, uden at Andreassen søger at konkludere på deres skæbner. Selv narrative og imaginære blindgyder præsenteres som åbne og under stadig tilblivelse.

KRAKA NOMINEE 10 🏆

The tenth work among the twelve nominees for this year’s KRAKA Award is:

Rikke Andreassen for the article: “Sex and Women in the Archive and New Imaginaries of Female Same-Sex Relations in the Late Nineteenth Century”.

Andreassen’s article is a profoundly important and innovative contribution to writing LGBT+ history. Through comprehensive archival work and a**lysis, this article maps new understandings of women’s s*xual relations in the 19th century. The use of material from medical archives is a very innovative way to illuminate the histories of marginalized womens s*xuality and history and the article offers these women their s*xualities back despite and across class differences.
By using Hartman’s speculative scenarios and narrative approaches, Andreassen furthermorecontributes with a methodology to read and work with archives that has been produced and entrenched into patriarchal power structures as the clinic and the law in ways that allows both feminist and q***r readings. While being very innovative, the article is also elegant and riveting at the same time as the women gets to have complex relations to themselves, each other and their contemporary era without Andreassen trying to conclude on anything related to their fate outside the archive. Even narrative and fictional dead ends is presented as open and in constant becoming.

KRAKA NOMINERING 9 🏆

(English below)

Det niende værk i rækken af elleve nominerede til årets KRAKA-pris er:

Pernille Svare Nygaard for artiklen: “Home Economics in Higher Education 1945–1955: The Academic Home Economics Education at Aarhus University and the Emergence of a Female Figure”.

Værket undersøger kvinders uddannelseserfaringer i kurser i husholdningsøkonomi ved Aarhus Universitet (1938–1968). Kurserne akademiserede velfærdsprofessioner og gav kvinder alternative veje til universitetet. Med et mangefacetteret arkivmateriale og med feministiske og poststrukturalistiske teorier belyser afhandlingen akademiseringens betydning, kvinders navigering og forhandling af kønsnormer.
Nygaard viser på nænsom vis, hvordan kvinden i midten af det 20. århundredes Danmark træder frem som figur i det akademiske landskab. Nygaards arbejde frema**lyserergennem et rigt og anderledes arkivmateriale samt den nyeste feministiske, affektive og nymaterialistiske teori frema**lyserer nuancerede historier om kvinder på universitetet. Dermed er Nygaards arbejde af gensidig betydning for kønsforskningen og det uddannelseshistoriske felt.

KRAKA NOMINEE 9 🏆

The ninth work among the twelve nominees for this year’s KRAKA Award is:

Pernille Svare Nygaard for the article: “Home Economics in Higher Education 1945–1955: The Academic Home Economics Education at Aarhus University and the Emergence of a Female Figure”.

The article examines women’s educational experiences with courses in home economics at Aarhus University (1938-1968). These courses placed welfare professions in academia and gave women an alternative way into the universities. With a very divers archival material and feminist, poststructuralist and new materialist theoretical positions, the article sheds a light on the importance of the academization of home economics in regard to women navigating and negotiating gender roles.
Nygaard shows in very gentle ways how women in the middle of the 20th century in Denmark emerge in academia. Nygaard’s work shows through feminist, affective and diffractive readings how women’s educational history is nuanced, and the article has mutual significance to both the field of educational history and gender research.

KRAKA NOMINERING 8 🏆

(English below)

Det ottende værk i rækken af elleve nominerede til årets KRAKA-pris er:

Anton Juul for ph.d-afhandlingen: “”Skriv med røvhullet”: læsninger af homoerotiske fortællinger i ny dansk litteratur”.

Afhandling ‘Skriv med røvhullet’ er et banebrydende bidrag til dansk q***r forskning. Teoretisk gentænker den q***rteoriens forhold til psykoa**lyse og introducerer et nyt paradigme for at forstå begær. Afhandlingen viser, hvordan homoseksuel s*x, promiskuitet og a**ls*x fortsat udgør kulturelle spændingsfelter og uløste problemer i samtiden. Metodisk insisterer den på, at en q***r læsning ikke kun handler om magt og identitet, men også om form, æstetik og begær. Med sit fokus på homoerotiske fortællinger i ny dansk litteratur åbner den et hidtil uforløst felt i dansk kønsforskning: litterære bøssestudier.
Afhandlingen bidrager gennem grundige og nuancerede værklæsninger med et nyt litterærtbegrebsapparat til at forstå og a**lysere ud fra en a**l poetik, som giver den litterære forskning og det litterære miljø et sted at erkende bøsselitteraturen fra, som tager bøssens seksuelle begær og praksisser alvorligt.

KRAKA NOMINEE 8 🏆

The eighth work among the eleven nominees for this year’s KRAKA Award is:

Anton Juul for the PhD thesis ““Skriv med røvhullet”: læsninger af homoerotiske fortællinger i ny dansk litteratur” (transl.: “Write with the asshole”: Studies in Ho******ic Narratives in Contemporary Danish Literature).

The thesis ‘Skriv med røvhullet’ is a groundbreaking contribution to Danish q***r research. Theoretically the thesis rethinks q***r theory’s relationship with psychoa**lysis and introduces a new paradigm to understand lust and desire. The thesis shows how homos*xual s*x, promiscuity and a**l s*x is still perceived as cultural field of tension and unsolved issues in this contemporary age. Methodologically the thesis insists that q***r readings can’t be reduced to only a question of power and identity, but also a question of form, aesthetics and desire. With its focus on ho******ic narratives in new Danish fictional literature, the thesis opens a field in Danish gender research that until now has been undiscovered: Literary gay studies.
Through thorough literary a**lysis of complete works, Juul contributes with a new literary apparatus that enables new literary a**lysis with new a**l poetics that provides the literary research field and the literary scene with a new place from where gay literature is made intelligible and where the s*xual practices and desires of gay men are taken seriously.

KRAKA NOMINERING 7 🏆

(English below)

Det syvende værk i rækken af elleve nominerede til årets KRAKA-pris er:

Dorthe Staunæs, Katja Brøgger og Kirsten Hvenegård-Lassen for antologien: “Performative vendinger: Introduktion til nyere feministisk teori”.

‘Performative vendinger’ er en ambitiøs og omfattende antologi, der samler og oversætter centrale tekster fra nyere feministisk teori til en dansk kontekst. Med bidrag fra nogle af de mest indflydelsesrige tænkere inden for feltet tilbyder værket et rigt og nuanceret indblik i aktuelle teoretiske diskussioner om køn, affekt, materialitet, racegørelse og det mere-end-menneskelige. De introducerende kapitler gør komplekse begreber tilgængelige, og skaber sammenhæng på tværs af de mange tekster. Bogen fungerer både som grundbog og opslagsværk, og vil være et vigtigt redskab for studerende og forskere i mange år frem. Samtidig demonstrerer den, hvordan feministisk teori i dag rækker langt ud over køn og engagerer sig i bredere spørgsmål om krop, teknologi og globale uligheder.

KRAKA NOMINEE 7 🏆

The seventh work among the eleven nominees for this year’s KRAKA Award is:

Dorthe Staunæs, Katja Brøgger og Kirsten Hvenegård-Lassen for the anthology: “Performative vendinger: Introduktion til nyere feministisk teori” (transl.: Performative Turns: Introduction to Recent Feminist Theory).

‘Performative vendinger’ is an ambitious and comprehensive anthology that collects and translates key texts from recent feminist theory into a Danish context. With contributions from some of the most influential thinkers in the field, the work offers a rich and nuanced insight into current theoretical discussions about gender, affect, materiality, racialization, and the more-than-human. The introductory chapters make complex concepts accessible and create coherence across the many texts. The book functions both as a textbook and a reference work and will serve as an essential resource for students and researchers for many years to come. At the same time, it demonstrates how feminist theory today extends far beyond gender and engages with broader questions about the body, technology, and global inequalities.
