Gender & Diversity in the Reshaping of STEM Curricula

Lecture by Nazira Karodia & Natia Sopromadze, University of Wolverhampton, UK

Thursday, January 31, 2019, 4 pm, MZ 003A

Ours has become the age of migration. The European political and cultural landscape is now being reshaped around this issue, reshaped not without violence and intense hostility. As the debate about national identity, or even what is the nation, intensifies, we, as educators, take a position. And the locus of that stance is the curriculum. That is the point of our intervention. Historically, we examined how women were excluded from the science canon. The struggle was not only to include women as developers of scientific knowledge, but we have fought to transform how learning could occur in a less competitive and more collaborative way.

Professor Nazira Karodia and Dr Natia Sopromadze will talk about the University of Wolverhampton’s approach on how an inclusive curriculum may be created and delivered.
