24 Aug Ph.D. Course Critical Gender Studies in the Life Sciences domains

I am very excited to be part of this PhD course (4 ECTS)! There are still a few spots left if you want to regiter!

The course covers the following topics:

– Introduction to Critical Gender/Feminist Studies in the Life Sciences
– Feminist epistemologies in Science and Technology Studies
– Feminist political ecology
– Feminism and social justice
– Decolonizing development

Each session involves a half day class and a full day of prepararory and out of class work (1.5 days total). As part of the out of class work within each session, participants are required to prepare a reflection paper. This should take one to two hours. Each session combines reading, lecture, discussion, participants’ presentation and writing a short paper.
