PhD relay: Gender perspectives in research
Centre for Women's and Gender Research (SKOK) invites all interested PhD candidates to a interdisciplinary seminar, 19 October 2023.
Main content
The seminar, which takes place in SKOK's meeting room in Parkveien 9, starts with a two hour course on gender perspectives in research. Read more about the course below. Please note that the event is not being streamed - in-person participation only.
After the course, each candidate presents their work (15 minutes), followed by a discussion (15 minutes). You can present your overall PhD project, or choose specific gender-related problems relevant for your dissertation. This is an opportunity to receive feedback from experienced gender researchers as well as the other participants.
Please upload a project description/abstract (approx. 1/2 page) at registration.
The seminar is especially well suited for PhD candidates who write, empirically or theoretically, about gender, but PhD candidates from all disciplines are welcome.
Sign up by 12 October via link at the right. Please contact Idunn Tandstad (idunn.tandstad@uib.no) if you have any questions about the seminar.
Attending the whole seminar and presenting your problem equals 1 ECTS.
Introductory course on gender perspectives in research
This course invites you to reflect on gender perspectives in research and particularly how such perspectives can be used in your current project as well as in applications you may write in the future.
The inclusion of gender perspectives is increasingly recognised as an indicator of quality in research-projects, in applications as well as in the final results of the projects. For example, the Norwegian Research Council and EU both highlight the importance of gender-balance in research and the importance of gender as an integrated part of the projects they grant resources for – as a part of the research questions, the methods, and in the analysis. The inclusion of gender perspectives can offer new interesting angles and as such raise the quality of project proposals.
This course will serve as an introduction to how gender politics plays out in external funding bodies, whilst also exploring the ways in which a gender perspective can be integrated in your PhD work and in your future research applications.
