Teaching and Research Staff
PDI gender training
The Equality and Diversity Service drives the gender equality and perspective courses organised by the Unit for Training and Teaching Innovation for the teaching and research staff. This training enforces the UAB’s Fourth Gender Equality Action Plan.
The courses take place during the usual PDI training periods, in February and June of each year.
The courses are accessed through usual training broadcasting channels for the PDI. You can find all the information here: Courses and workshops.

The guides for university teaching with gender perspective are a collection of 11 works from different subjects and areas of expertise. The guides offer guidelines to review subjects from a gender perspective based on recommendations and indications relating to objectives, content, examples, language use and sources, as well as teaching and evaluation methods and learning environment management and its results.
The aim of this collection is to offer resources that allow the university teaching staff to pay attention to gender dynamics that take place in learning environments and to adopt measures ensuring that students’ diversity is taken into account. This way, students will have new tools to identify gender stereotypes, norms and social roles, develop their critical thinking and acquire competences that allow them to avoid gender blindness in their professional future.
