Gender Perspective in Research
“Gender Sensitive Research” is overcoming the covert andocentricity in research projects. Quality research should remove andocentric bias from the design, content, and results (Avramov, Dragana, 2011: 11; Schiebinger, Londa & Schraudner, Martina, 2011: 155), be socially inclusive, and guarantee gender balanced research teams and at all decision-making levels.
Vives Network
Guides for university teaching with gender perspective is a collection of 11 works of different fields and areas of knowledge. The Guides offer guidelines to review subjects from a gender perspective, from recommendations and indications regarding goals, contents, examples, the language used and selected sources, as well as teaching, evaluation and learning environment management methods their results.
The goal of the collection is to offer resources allowing university teaching staff to pay attention to the gender dynamics which take place in the learning environment and to adopt measures ensuring that the diversity of students is cared for. This way, students will have new tools to identify gender stereotypes, norms and social roles, develop their civic spirit and acquire competences which will allow them to avoid gender blindness in their future professional practice.

• Gender equality in the composition of research teams.
• Gender as a relevant dimension in all the stages of research: design, theoretical framework, methodology and techniques, data analysis, and dissemination of results (Leduc, 2009; Gender in EU-funded research Toolkit, 2009, Schiebinger & Schraudner, 2011).
• Take into account the interest and impact of the research on the individuals conceived as research subjects.
• Give voice to the experiences of women and minoritised social sectors, to facilitate social empowerment.
