Resources
Interested in learning how to incorporate gender analysis into health research or interventions?
Gender is a key social stratifer which affects health needs, vulnerabilities, risks, and outcomes. Gender analysis entails seeking to understand inequities in health as a result of differential distributions of power and resources and how these inequities affect research and intervention outcomes. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to incorporate gender analysis into health research projects or interventions.
Introduces gender analysis as an integral part of health research and interventions. Focuses on teaching students on how to incorporate gender analysis into health research and interventions. Explores: (1) theoretical approaches to gender and health, including intersectionality, masculinities, and non-binary approaches; (2) how gender and gender relations affects health needs, risks, experiences, and outcomes; and (3) ways in which gender analysis can be incorporated into health research and interventions, including the use of gender frameworks and questions, gender assessments, and transformative approaches. Examples will cover a range of international settings, with a focus on low-and-middle income country settings.
