Integrating Gender Planning in Research Development and Praxis
The session will look at GCRF gender equality requirements and discuss how these fit in the genealogy of paradigmatic thinking within gender and development. It will then explore epistemological, ethical and practical questions that emerge when a decolonial perspective is applied to mainstream concepts of gender and development and their transposition cross-culturally. Lastly, it will discuss how universities can navigate these requirements by example of the University of Edinburgh’s internally-looking research project entitled “Integrating Gender Equality into GCRF Funding Bids and Projects” under the auspices of genderED directed by Professor Fiona Mackay.
