General
Are you a junior or PhD researcher interested in making your health research diversity-responsive? Do you enjoy interaction, reflection, collaboration and challenging discussions? Or do you just want to make this world a better place?
In this entry-level training of the Schoolforparticipation 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. You do not need to have experience with intersectionality to enter the course.
This training is for junior researchers or PhD students. Our main focus will be public health, but the topics covered are relevant for other health-related fields. Please note that this course consists of 2 days, this is the first day of the course.
