Speaker
Prof. Dr. Londa Schiebinger, John L. Hinds Professor of History of Science, Stanford University and Director of the Gendered Innovations in Science, Health & Medicine, Engineering and Environment Project is a leading international authority on the theory, practice, and history of gender and intersectionality in science, technology, and medicine.

Londa Schiebinger will explore how integrating gender analysis into research and innovation can uncover new opportunities and drive excellence in science and technology. The talk will provide an insight into international research, with a specific focus on STEM disciplines and medicine, in which questions of gender have provided a decisive gain in knowledge.

The event also explicitly addresses postdocs and doctoral candidates who have not yet carried out research in these areas, but who are interested in dealing with and exploring these issues in light of the requirements of third-party funding providers.

The 360° Gender in Research project invites postdocs and doctoral researchers from all Hamburg universities to this project kick-off. With this event, we are providing an initial impetus to debate the relevance of gender dimensions in research and to identify potential opportunities for a broader integration of gender aspects in research at Hamburg's universities. In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to gain practical insights into how they can integrate gender perspectives into their own research most effectively, enhancing both the quality and relevance of their work.

About 360° Gender in Research
The project 360° Gender in Research advances the future of science by integrating gender aspects into all phases of research projects. Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under the initiative “Geschlechteraspekte im Blick”, the project promotes innovative and inclusive research practices. Led by the Center for Gender & Diversity (ZGD) and the Hamburg Research Academy (HRA), 360° Gender in Research supports researchers in identifying, considering, and addressing potential gender dimensions in their work.
