Higher education institutions are in a strategic position to create and implement recommendations for Gender Equality and putting into practice concrete measures to overcome obstacles and promote equality and diversity. Going beyond the focus on interpersonal actions there must be a strategic recognition of structural issues that create barriers to an equitable and inclusive environment that recognises and responds to the diversity of lived experiences and existing identities.

 

The first masterclass: “Gender Equality and Inclusive Communication in Research and Innovation activities” with Rita Alcaire, University of Coimbra

This masterclass addresses practical aspects that can contribute to improving everyday practice in teaching, supervising, mentoring and researching.

 

 

This masterclass was presented by Rita Alcaire, who is an anthropologist, documentary filmmaker, and social science communicator working at the intersection of social sciences, media and arts. She is a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Social Studies at the University of Coimbra. She holds a PhD in Human Rights and a MA in Cultural Psychiatry. Her research interests lie in the study of gender and sexualities, mental health, and pop culture using the media as a privileged way to engage with them.
