Funding institutions such as the DFG and on international level are increasingly demanding that gender aspects be taken into account in research projects. Against common believe that we thus have to ‘put gender in’, gender and other social aspects are always tacitly part from the outset in research processes, from the research question to publication. We cannot escape – but well reflect them and take measures in our research projects to balance them. This workshop shows how we can systematically analyze tacit aspects of gender, race and other categories of discrimination in our research in cultural studies and humanities as well as especially in the empirical social and natural sciences. Using well tried concepts from 40 years of gender research, philosophy and history of science, you will discover how gender can be used as an analytical tool for more exciting research questions and more robust results. This can turn your research even more innovative and inclusive.
