Course 'Intersectionality & I'

Are you a health researcher interested in making your research diversity-responsive? Do you enjoy interaction, reflection, collaboration and challenging discussions? Or do you just want to make this world a better place?
Then sign up for our 3-EC online training ‘Intersectionality & I’, on May 26th and June 16th, 2023!
- What is intersectionality, and how can I use it in my own research? - What are ‘intersecting oppressions’, why do they matter for health, and what do power and privilege have to do with it?
Access to a comprehensive syllabus with key publications in the field of Intersectionality & Health (1 EC); two training days (1 EC) of engaged learning about intersectionality as a theory and methodology in public health through lectures, group work, working on own research; writing an individual essay (1 EC).
In this entry-level training on intersectionality in (public) health research, we cover the basic theoretical and methodological foundations of intersectionality theory. We discuss why intersectionality is a useful framework to analyze health inequalities and inequities, address common research pitfalls and solutions, and discover how intersectionality theory could be integrated in your own research activities. The training is suitable for both qualitative and quantitative researchers who would like to learn more about the basics of intersectionality theory and its application to health research. You do not need to have experience with intersectionality to enter the course.
This training is particularly suited for junior researchers or PhD students. Our main focus will be public health, but the topics covered are relevant for other health-related fields.
