Workshop "How to incorporate a gender perspective into research"«
September 18, 2012
• Speakers: Sandra Dema and Capitolina Díaz (University of Oviedo)
• In-person sessions: September 27 and 28, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Venue: Faculty of Education, module B, room B1-1-05 (Central Campus).
· Addressed to: Faculty, research staff or scholarship recipients and students of the ULL.
· Registration: Free, limited places. Apply at iueminscripcion@gmail.com, until September 21.
· Aim: The main sexist biases inherent in conventional research and their effects on research quality will be presented. An analysis will also be conducted on how to incorporate a gender perspective into each phase of the research process, from choosing the research problem and selecting the sample to analyzing the results and publishing them. Finally, the gender inclusion criteria required by some agencies and/or publishers for accepting projects/manuscripts will be presented. This training is framed within the Seventh European Framework Programme and the new Law on Science, Technology and Innovation, which establishes that: “The Spanish Strategy for Science and Technology and the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research will promote the incorporation of the gender perspective as a cross-cutting category in research and technology, so that its relevance is considered in all aspects of the process, including the definition of scientific and technical research priorities, research problems, theoretical and explanatory frameworks, methods, data collection and interpretation, conclusions, technological applications and developments, and proposals for future studies. They will also promote gender and women's studies, as well as specific measures to encourage and recognize the presence of women in research teams.”
· Organized by: Gender Equality Unit of the ULL and University Institute for Women's Studies of the ULL
• Activity funded by: Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality and European Social Fund
