About event

Are you committed to addressing gender inequality and creating a more inclusive academic environment? The asynchronous self-paced online training course “Female Empowerment in Academia” is designed for researchers, academics, university staff, and PhD candidates of all genders who want to gain awareness of core problems hindering gender equality in academia and provides some practical tips on how to deal with them.

Explore key topics like structural inequalities, gender-based violence in academia, methodologies for gender-sensitive research, and understand gender beyond ticking the project policy boxes to make a meaningful impact in your field.

Programme

Discover how to address gender inequality and foster inclusivity in academia through these three modules:

• Module 1: Gender inequality (themes of structural inequalities, gender relations in academia, glass ceiling, leaky pipeline, work-life balance and gendered career issues) 
• Module 2: Violences (everyday experiences of inequality, sexism, gender-based violence in academia at various career stages)
• Module 3: Gender methodologies (conducting gender sensitive research beyond the required "ticking of policy boxes") 

This course is an asynchronous and self-paced learning offer, so you can go through the training when you have time. The approximate workload is 25 hours in total. In the end, you can earn an EDUC Certificate. The pilot run of the course will be open from February 20, 2025 to May 15, 2025.

Participants from Masaryk University may enjoy an extra in-person session upon completion of the online training. There will be a wrap-up seminar at the CERPEC (rectorate building) on Friday, May 16^th. Details will be provided to the enrolled participants in a due time.
