WHAT?
Training aimed at the staff of SOMMa centres and promoted by the SOMMa Working Group on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.
In this training we will explore the concept of intersectionality and its relevance in processes of structural change. Through a combination of theory, reflection and good practice, participants will gain a deeper understanding of intersectionality and how to apply it in research centres. The benefits of adopting intersectional approaches will be addressed, as well as tools for integrating them effectively. In addition, the main challenges and resistances in this process will be discussed, providing strategies to overcome them and move towards more inclusive and equitable structural change.
