Description

The summer school focuses on exploring the relations between gender equality and quality of life. Studies of gender equality impact on quality of life are not conclusive – we cannot assume linear and unidirectional relation between gender equality and quality of life. This relation is shaped by cultural and institutional context in each country and the individual strategies adopted by the citizens. During this summer school we will try to explore the relation between as well as develop a policy recommendation and policy toolkits for policy-makers, both in Poland and Norway. 

The summer school consists of lectures, roundtables and workshops, which will introduce intersectional perspective on gender equality and quality of life. It will provide current research and debates as a basis for challenging discussion related to the following topics:

·         Gender regimes and economic constraints of neoliberalism

·         Gendered Violence

·         Men and gender equality

·         Women's movement and activism

·         Inequalities, intersectionality and quality of life 

The participants will explore various dimensions of gender equality in different context, discuss case studies related to each area and learn how to develop tools for critical assessment of gender equality policies. 

Detailed programme of summer school will be available later. 

Teaching methods

The course will consist of roundtables with experts who will offer an insightful analysis in discussed topics. Each roundtable will consist of three presentations, touching upon the international debate on the discussed topic as well as describing Polish and Norwegian research and policies in each of the spheres mentioned above. During the afternoon sessions, the participants will take part in workshops focused on policy toolkit for Poland and Norway. The work will be based both on the outcomes from the GEQ project (survey, qualitative study) as well as participants' research or PhD projects. Each participant will also present a paper based on her/his work related to gender equality in small discussion groups. Those methods will be accompanied by open discussion with scholars, practitioners and activists.

Key readings will be send by email to all participants no later than one month before the beginning of the summer school.
