GenderEx School September 2022

Published: 7 Jul, 2022

Are you a TU Dublin Early Stage/ Early Career Researcher integrating, or planning to integrate, an EDI perspective in your research?

If so, you are invited to apply to the interdisciplinary GenderEX School, which will run from the 7th to the 11th September 2022.

The GenderEX School will take place in Istanbul, but there is also the possibility of participating online.

The training is free of charge and it will give you the opportunity to sharpen up your research proposal and to network with other researchers from Ireland, Italy, Turkey and Sweden. Travel and accommodation costs of TU Dublin participants attending in person will be covered by the project.

About the GenderEX School:

The GenderEX School 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 5-day course, participants will be sufficiently equipped to incorporate sophisticated gender analysis into their own research projects, independently of their discipline.

The course is designed to facilitate participation through a variety of interactive sessions. It will comprise a mix format of keynotes, seminars, workshops and case-studies. The continuity of these networks will be facilitated by further opportunities provided by future GenderEX activities, exchanges, and events.
