Why Does Gender Really Matter in Political Science Learning Processes?
Igor Ahedo Gurrutxaga; Iraide Álvarez Muguruza; Andere Ormazabal Gaston
Journal of Political Science Education, v20 n4 p522-544 2024
The impact of the feminist movement has resonated in the field of Higher Education, giving rise to an increasingly large body of research that is sensitive to the gender perspective. Since Political Science educates future professionals, it is desirable to carry out research into the effect of gender biases on the learning process of Political Science students. For this reason, this article aims to show the findings of a study carried out at the University of the Basque Country with the purpose of contributing to the identification and understanding of gender inequalities in Political Science classrooms. The conclusions not only suggest that admitting the existence of a sex-gender system is a central factor in understanding the persistence of gender inequalities, but also reveal that a transformation in academia which involves training a feminist awareness of both professors and students could contribute to reducing gender inequalities.
