Aims of this E-Resource
The GenderEX e-learning course aims to provide participants with the necessary knowledge and tools to explore the ways in which gender and other equality grounds are relevant to their own research projects. Special attention is given to intersectional approaches to the integration of sex and gender perspectives in research content.
By the end of this course, participants will be sufficiently equipped to
- Understand what it means to integrate a gender perspective and how to go about it
- Recognise the implications of undertaking gender-sensitive research both for science and for society at large.
- Incorporate sophisticated gender analysis into your own research projects, independently of your discipline.
