21/06/2018

For one more year, we begin the call for the prizes to the best TFGs with a gender perspective together with the Institut Català de les Dones (ICD). With these prizes we want to raise awareness among students about gender equality and non-discrimination by promoting their interest on research.

Regarding the subject of the TFGs, we understand gender perspective as a critical approach to any phenomenon which discovers, gives visibility, analyses or faces inequality between women and men, including the social and cultural institutions supporting it, such as family, sexuality, sex separation of work, socialization processes, law, beliefs, values and social norms, among others.

Gender perspective considers gender as a historical construction with a social and cultural character which acts as a principle, unequally orders the access to resources (material, ideological and symbolic) and establishes a hierarchy between what is defined in each context as masculine or feminine, articulating and reinforcing other inequalities.

Regarding the Prize to the Best TFGs with a gender perspective, we count with a total amount of €1,000 which will be given to the winning TFGs in the four categories: Sciences, Biosciences and Engineering; Health Sciences; Social and Juridical Sciences; and finally, Arts and Humanities.

Students willing to take a chance to win the Prizes to the Best TFGs with a Gender Perspective have to sign up using the online form and send the TFG in PDF format (without the author’s name), as well as a copy of the degree’s academic record, to observatori.igualtat@uab.cat before September 21st, 2018. For more information, check the rules of the prize.
