Course: Sex and/or Gender Analysis in Research

Course: Sex and/or Gender Analysis in Research

By Prof. Capitolina Díaz Martínez and Prof. Andrea Corrales Devesa

Aims of the course

This course aims to enable PhD students to include the sex and/or gender analysis in their PhD theses and in the scientific articles that may result from their investigations.

The materials that follow describe the theoretical and legal framework that sustains the inclusion of the sex and/or gender analysis in research.

Likewise, the contents will show PhD students how to include the sex and/or gender analysis in each one of the phases of the research process: from the selection of topic to be investigated and the choice of sample to the analysis of results and subsequent publication.

This work presents the main sexist biases typical of mainstream investigations and their effect on their final quality.

Finally, the course will also review the relevance of a gender approach in several research fields and will explain specific instances of what a gender analysis involves.
