New SciDev.net course: Integrate gender into your scientific research
At the Gender Summit 9 - Europe, GenderInSITE had the opportunity to hear SciDev.net director Nick Perkins introduce SciDev's newest online course, on integrating a gender lens into the scientific research process. While many researchers agree that awareness of gender dimensions of research should make for better and more equitable outcomes, it may be difficult to know how exactly to identify and incorporate these dimensions in one's own research. This course is designed for researchers and students in the life and natural sciences who seek a better understanding of these concepts. The course is free to enrol, with unlimited lifetime access. See details from SciDev.net below:
