Acknowledgements
This book emerged out of the FEMCIT project, a transnational, multidiscipli-
nary feminist research project that ran from 2007 to 2011. Many people
contributed to the collective work of FEMCIT.
Firstly, we thank everyone who was part of the FEMCIT project. We start by
acknowledging Tone Hellesund, the first Scientific Coordinator of FEMCIT,
whose enthusiasm, vision and belief that we might secure funding for a large
European project about women’s movements kick-started it all. We also espe-
cially thank Siren Høgtun, the Administrative Coordinator, who managed the
complex administrative and financial aspects of the project, and Solveig
Bergman, who was the other member, with us, of the ‘Project Office’, respon-
sible for the scientific direction and management of FEMCIT. We owe a big
‘thank you’ to the Steering Committee – Nicky Le Feuvre, Line Nyhagen Predelli,
Joyce Outshoorn and Monica Threlfall – for their meticulous work and good
humour throughout the project. We thank all the partners in the project, who
were also involved from the beginning: Anne-Jorunn Berg, Hilda Rømer
Christensen, Drude Dahlerup, Małgorzata Fuszara, Hana Hašková, Teresa
Kulawik, Sabine Strasser and Celia Valiente. And last, but certainly not least, the
researchers who joined FEMCIT to work on particular sub-projects: Jenny
Bredull, Saloua Chaker, Isabel Crowhurst, Susanne Dodillet, Radka Dudová,
Rune Ervik, Lenita Freidenvall, Michala Hvidt, Berit Gullikstad, madeleine
kennedy-macfoy, Anna Krajewska, Beata Laciak, Karin S. Lindelöf, Elisabet
Ljunggren, Esmeranda Manful, Milka Metso, Dorota Orłowska, Ana Prata,
Kateřina Pulkrábková, Esther Quintero, Minna Rantalaiho, Trine Rogg Korsvik,
Anne Rudolf, Adriana Sandu, Ana Cristina Santos, Minna Seikkula, Mariya
Stoilova, Cecilie Thun, Zuzana Uhde and Joanne Wilson. We note, in particular,
the work of Jenny Bredull in the preparation of this book, and thank her for her
patience and attention to detail. It has been one of the great privileges of our
academic lives to have worked with this extraordinary group of feminist
researchers.
We thank the FEMCIT advisory board – Myra Marx Ferree, Keiko Funabashi,
Jeff Hearn, Gail Lewis, Gretchen Ritter and Chunghee Sarah Soh – for their
thoughtful engagement with the project. Eiman Hussein, Diana Mulinari,
Belinda Pyke, Joanna Regulska, Birte Siim, Myria Vassiliadou and Alison
Woodward also offered us invaluable critical commentaries on our work at
various points in the project, and Yeşim Arat, Rosie Cox, Hana Havelková,
Joni Lovenduski, Baukje Prins and Lynne Segal provided inspiration and
intellectual refreshment as speakers at our internal meetings.

We acknowledge the financial support of the European Union 6th
Framework (project number: 028746), and, in particular, the advice and
encouragement we received from our last project officer at the European
Commission, Simona Ardovino. We also acknowledge the generosity of the
Norwegian Research Council (project number: 184386/V10), which further
supported our research and related activities.
Each of the institutional partners in FEMCIT – the universities and research
institutes in which we all work – provided the context for the research, and
numerous administrators and financial officers carried out the crucial back-
ground work that kept the research going: Uni Rokkan Centre and the
University of Bergen, as the coordinating institution; Birkbeck, University of
London, the University of Oslo, Leiden University, University of Toulouse–Le
Mirail the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic and Warsaw University
for hosting FEMCIT conferences, meetings and PhD Schools; and the Nordic
Gender Institute (NIKK), Carlos III University of Madrid, Loughborough
University, University of Stockholm, Södertörn University College, University
of Copenhagen, University of Vienna, London Metropolitan University and
the University of Leeds, as the other partner institutions.
We would also like to recognize the support and encouragement we have
received from our own academic communities, the colleagues and friends
with whom we talked about the FEMCIT project over the years. Not attempt-
ing to name them all does not mean that we don’t know who they are!
FEMCIT was an exciting, engrossing and, at times, all-consuming enter-
prise, and we especially owe thanks to those closest to us: Margaretha
Nicolaysen, Nina Wakeford, Selma S. Mutlu and Alev Sümer.
Finally, we acknowledge the vital contribution to FEMCIT and to this book
of the women and men – the women’s movement activists and the ‘ordi-
nary’ people, politicians and policy-makers – whose experiences and prac-
tices of remaking citizenship are the subject of this book.
