Learning objectives

Referring to knowledge — Incorporate a gender perspective in all the professional areas of practice in political science. — Use the concepts, methods and theoretical approaches that are most commonly employed to analyse public policies oriented to maintaining or improving gender equality. — Use the international scientific community’s findings on the subject of gender equality, focusing on how these findings can be used to improve public policymaking and ensure that it meets our current social needs. — Design and advise on policies that incorporate a gender perspective and help maintain and improve gender equality. — Describe and discuss the theories underpinning the subjects in the course, the scientific evidence that supportts them and the political and social changes they have been responsible for. — Analyse the factors that have made it possible to incorporate the theories underpinning the course and also the elements of exclusion that make it difficult to find effective answers.  — Identify the Spanish and Catalan laws and bills that impact on gender issues in social, political and scientific contexts and that refer to precedents in gender-related legislation at an international level.
