In this course, we will present you with a fundamental toolkit for any academic and professional who wants to conduct or understand gender and diversity research and gendered processes in society.
In the morning, we will discuss core concepts, including gender, diversity, sexuality, and intersectionality. We will pay attention to research design and how this can reproduce intersecting constructions of difference, and reinforce existing biases. We will also look at the importance of the historical and political context for understanding gender dynamics.
In the afternoon, we will present some case studies or research projects and discuss how the concepts of gender and diversity can be applied in real life, e.g. education, work, politics. You will understand how different perspectives and theories on gender and diversity shape society and how they are fundamental to social change and the abolishment of inequalities.
