Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students will have some basic understanding of gendered processes within organisation and work. Students will be able to explain the difference between gender and sex. They will be able to elaborate on the fundamental concepts of gender studies and key insights. They will be able to form questions, in order to unveil gendered processes, structures and dynamics within organisation and work.

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

This  course will consist of synchronous and asynchronous parts as well - if the pandemic permits - in-person classes and online learning. In the synchronous, in-person  sessions, the lecturer will present the key concepts and discuss them with students. Students are asked to prepare for those sessions (asynchronous part) by working through the learning material provided on moodle. Students are required to prepare some learning portfolio in group work (asynchronous part), which will be the further learning material for the course's take home exam. Students will work with scientific papers and book chapters (guided reading) and thereby improve the basic skills for scientific work.

Course content

Basic concepts of gender studies within the area of work and organisation. Amongst others:

  • gender vs. sex
  • gendered organisation
  • intersectionality
  • decolonial approaches
  • heteronormativity and queer studies
  • men and masculinities

Prior knowledge expected

This course is taught in English, hence students should be able to read and write texts in English (though grammar and punctuation will not influence marking as long as it is possible to understand the writing).

Literature

will be provided through Moodle in time.

Modified examination information (exceptional COVID-19 provisions)

n/a 

the only thing which might be affected by the pandemic is whether in-person classes can take place. If this were not possible, information will be provided to all enrolled students as soon as possible.

Examination methodology

Due to the interactive nature of the course, students are required to actively participate throughout the course.

Students are required to collaborate within a group and collaboratively create a learning portfolio on a chosen topic (this will be shared with all students and present an additional learning basis for the take-home exam). 

Finally, there will be a short take-home exam, which will also include a short reflection on a chosen topic (individual work).

Examination topic(s)

The topics for the group work will be discussed in the first online session

Assessment criteria / Standards of assessment for examinations
