PhD course: Gender and Research Methodologies in Social Sciences
On October 28-29, 2021, Radboud Gender & Diversity Studies offers the PhD course Gender and Research Methodologies in Social Sciences
This course is an introduction on how to employ various research methods in interdisciplinary social sciences from a gender perspective. We will touch upon classic and modern debates regarding feminist methodologies.
The course takes two full days, with lectures, discussions of literature, and conversations about the research projects of the participants.
After this course, students will have a better understanding of feminist methodologies. They will be able to critically reflect upon the choice and application of research methods and analysis from a gender perspective in their own PhD research.
