Online Workshop on Women and Gender in Science: "Incorporating gender into research on COVID-19"

Online Workshop on Women and Gender in Science
Incorporating gender into research on COVID-19
23-25/11/2021

During the COVID-19 pandemic, gender inequality has come to much greater public attention. Building on some of the debates that have resulted, this workshop will explore diverse methods and strategies for incorporating a gender perspective into research on COVID-19. It will do so through a mix of group work, brainstorming and discussion that draw on concrete examples and explore possible scenarios and research proposals. At the end, participants will have gained an insight into the ways in which gender inequality shapes scientific research and will have developed practical strategies for incorporating a gender lens into research on COVID-19. They will address two key themes: (1) how gender inequality shapes the field of scientific research and (2) how to incorporate a gender perspective into research on COVID-19.

The workshop is open to students, activists, thinkers, as well as professionals who are working in related fields and are interested in conducting research on gender and COVID-19. It is organised in the context of the ProGender Project by the Research and Education Collective RECollective in collaboration with the Centre for Gender Studies of Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences.
