Gender Equality Non-Discrimination and Inclusion: With and Within Research

This course provides an in-depth exploration of gender equality non-discrimination and inclusion in research, equipping researchers with tools to integrate these principles into their work. It consists of two parts:

  1. Introduction to Gender Equality and Non-Discrimination – Covers fundamental concepts of power dynamics, unconscious bias and privilege in research.
  2. Application in Research and Institutional Environments – Focuses on strategies for embedding gender awareness in research projects, tackling bias in data collection and promoting inclusive research environments.

The course, structured into multiple modules, incorporates design thinking, project-based learning and self-reflection methodologies, ensuring practical application across disciplines.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Recognise the impact of unconscious biases, stereotypes and privilege in research environments.
  • Understand and apply gender-inclusive language in research and academic communication.
  • Develop strategies to integrate gender equality and inclusivity into research projects.
  • Identify and counteract discriminatory practices, including toxic speech in digital spaces.
  • Implement best practices for gender equality planning within institutions.
  • Understand the role of diversity in research teams and policy frameworks for inclusivity.

This course is designed for:
