GenderSci Lab Teaching Toolkit
The GenderSci Lab values rigorous, interdisciplinary scholarship that treats gender/sex as complex, entangled, and socially embedded. The GenderSci Lab Teaching Toolkit is designed to foster critical gender/sex-related dialogue and research within educational settings. All resources included are intended for and accessible to non-experts as well as experienced researchers.
The GenderSci Lab has produced three 10-minute video explainers to translate our peer-reviewed research on sex, gender, and science into accessible formats for classrooms, journalism, and public conversation. In addition, we offer a GenderSci Lab “Methods Toolkit,” offering concrete guidance for integrating rigorous gender/sex analysis in science using our “Three Maxims.” Each resource below is paired with a teaching guide, including: key terms, discussion questions, suggested readings, an FAQ, and ready-to-cite references you can access and adapt for your own course.
These resources are free to use and adapt for teaching. If you use them, we would appreciate it if you cite the video and/or underlying paper (citation formats provided on each page). For additional resources for teaching and research, check out our Publications and the GenderSci Lab Blog.
