Career

Bock graduated from the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences in 1972 as a social worker . In 1977 she completed her studies in sociology and social psychology at Bielefeld University . As a student, she was already a member of an initiative group for the establishment of a center for women's studies at this university. After many debates about the pros and cons of institutionalizing women's studies at universities, a “women's research office” was set up in 1980 with the approval of Rector Karl Peter Grotemeyer and financial support from the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of Science and Research . Under the direction of the university professor Christiane Schmerl, the task of the small research group consisting of Ulla Bock and Anne Braszeit was to prepare a “university focus on women's research”, from which the “interdisciplinary research group for women's research” (IFF) at Bielefeld University, later renamed “ Interdisciplinary Center for Women and Gender Studies ”(IZG) was created.

In 1981 Bock moved to the Free University of Berlin , where she was hired together with the sociologists Johanna Kootz and Elisabeth Böhmer to set up and work in the newly established Central Institution for the Promotion of Women and Gender Studies (ZEFG), one of the first institutions of its kind in West Germany. A few years later the literary scholar Anita Runge joined them. In 1987 Bock received his doctorate in sociology with a dissertation on "Androgyny and Feminism" at the Free University of Berlin. From 1987 to 2015 Bock was a lecturer at the Institute for Sociology at the Free University of Berlin . From 1981 to 2015 she did research as a research assistant at ZEFG and the “Gender and Cultural Sociology” division of the Institute for Sociology. From 2001 to the end of May 2015 she succeeded Johanna Kootz as managing director of ZEFG, who was then transferred to the Margherita-von-Brentano-Zentrum.

Bock was a member of the Querelles advisory board from 1996 to 2015 and was co-editor and editor of the review magazine querelles-net from 2000 to 2011 . She has been a member of the Gender Studies Society since 2010 . From 2002 to 2008 she was responsible for the “Gender History” review area at H-Soz-Kult .
