Note: Since this course is ongoing, you cannot register for it right now.
Lund University, Stockholm University, Nordforsk
Online Course, 7.5 credits
Why is it that physics, which is considered objective and not affected by who is doing the research, teaching, and learning, is so dominated by men among its practitioners? Why do some groups of people select not to come to physics – or to leave the area? Could the explanation be found in the culture of our labs and institutes? Or is it deeper – in the subject and how it is (re)presented? How do we make physics more welcoming for a larger part of the population
The course consists of two parts:
Introduction to gender science and its application to physics (4.5 credits)
Project on gender perspecitve on physics (3 credits)
