How to integrate a Gender Perspective into NCCR Trade Regulation

This workshop, organised by NCCR Trade Regulation and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Gender Studies (ICFG ) at the University of Bern, introduces NCCR researchers to gender-related aspects of trade regulation. It aims at deepening their understanding of the relevance of gender to trade - and of trade to gender - and exploring gender-sensitive methodological concepts and approaches.

During the morning session gender and trade experts provide insights into key topics of their research, and present their experience of integrating gender into trade-related activities. In the afternoon session participants together with gender experts explore options and practical ways to integrate gender into their own research, based on a number of NCCR projects.


The workshop is the final part of a set of activities encouraging the NCCR research community to take gender issues on board in their research. The previous activities include the development of a bibliography and an associated reader on gender and trade by the ICFG1

 

1The Bibliography is available at www.gendercampus.ch (access through WTI/ICFG), the Reader is on file at the WTI.
