Guía docente de Investigación Feminista: Casos de Estudio (Ii) (M15/56/4/23)

 This course is taught in English. Following the advice of the consortium board, this year we have also included “GEMMA voices”: sessions conducted by GEMMA alumni who are now doctoral or postdoctoral researchers and/or professors. This is based on the exchange of research experiences between more senior invited scholars, GEMMA pre and postdoc alumni  and GEMMA early-stage researchers preparing their master theses

• To make students familiar with the research done by academics and other professionals in the fields of Women’s Studies and Gender.
• To illustrate research experiences and methodologies so that students can see other researchers in action, share their experiences and contextualise their own research.
• To run a workshop where students themselves talk about their own research experiences at a time when master theses must seriously be thought of just before starting the final GEMMA term.

1. Workshops led by visiting scholars.

2. Workshops led by GEMMA alumni: "GEMMA Voices"

2. Workshop on students’ own research.

Given the nature of the course, specific readings for every session will be communicated in due time. They will be made accessible via dropbox
