Gender Full Spectrum – UNU’s New Blog Series
On the 25th November, the United Nations’ International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, UNU-GEST in collaboration with UNU-MERIT in the Netherlands, launched a new blog series – Gender Full Spectrum. The series represents journey through various UNU institutes and UN bodies, exploring gender’s multifaceted roles in different research areas and showcasing a wide range of gender-relevant research.
The blog came about as a response to the observations that the role of gender is versatile and multi-layered, demanding a “full spectrum” view across disciplines and research interests. The series aims to raise awareness about the diverse gender-related research undertaken within the UNU and beyond, and to make it accessible to a wider audience.
The intention of Gender Full Spectrum is to present gender as an all-encompassing dimension, while highlighting the different roles that men and women can play in gender research. The series will explore a wide range of themes across different disciplines and methodologies: from value chains in fisheries, gender and environment, to migration and political participation. The wide variety of research within UNU will provide a compelling and policy-relevant mix of articles offering stimulating insights for a wide audience. UNU-GEST is looking forward to this exciting collaboration!
