CPS has been active from its launch in the broader field of social diversity and policy responses to status based inequalities. Research and capacity building efforts within the center have mainly concerned gender, disability, ethnicity and race and multiple disadvantages resulting from the intersection of these inequality grounds. Most recently a core part of activities concerns gender equality policy and several aspects of it. Recent endeavors concerned the theory and practice of gender mainstreaming, policy responses to intersecting inequalities and violence against women, addressed both as research themes and as subjects for policy analysis and capacity building. Work has focused on qualitative analysis of policies, policy actors and policy debates, has focused on policy making and implementation, policy diffusion, and equality regimes.
