Gender Research Network

About the Gender Research Network

The principal role of the Gender Research Network (GRN) is to share best practice, raise awareness and influence change in gender equity policy and practice at Curtin University.

We bring together researchers across the Curtin campuses working as gender researchers and on gender research related projects as well as those interested in learning about gender research. The GRN will have appropriate representation that includes (as far as is possible): gender diversity; cultural and background diversity; campus, school and discipline mix.

Aims

The aims of the GRN are to:

Contribute directly to Curtin University’s own strategic goals, activities and initiatives around gender equity;
Leverage and build on Curtin’s strengths in gender research;
Contribute evidence needed for the design and evaluation of gender aware policies, strategies and practices and thus contribute to a more gender equal world; and
Establish Curtin as a centre for thought leaders in gender research.

Functions and Responsibilities

The Functions and Responsibilities of the GRN are to:

Provide a mechanism for the sharing of good practice, promotion and raising awareness of gender research at Curtin University;
Provide research insight, as requested, to assist Curtin University organisational units meet the elements of the University’s strategic plans related to research and gender equity in consultation with the DVC-R;
Assist the Offices of the Associate Provost and the DVC-R (as needed) in fulfilling their responsibilities and accountabilities in relation to the Athena SWAN Action Plan;
Facilitate and develop external gender research grant proposals, data sets, demand driven projects, publications, and media engagements; and
Maintain and develop relationships with industry stakeholders and other relevant organisations, including the ANU Gender Institute, the US Advance Program, SAGE Athena SWAN, and related research programs.

We will touch on the issues faced by people of diverse genders and explore practical ways to become more inclusive of gender diversity in research.

Why were men historically thought to be rational, and women hysterical? What does humoral theory have to do with gender? How was witchcraft a gendered crime?
