Abstract:

Women scientists, as well as researchers belonging to groups historically excluded from academia, have vastly contributed to our understanding of aquatic ecosystems, but their contributions are still neglected in university curricula. Increasing their visibility is a matter of justice, and also a way to make visible diverse role models, which can help remove barriers for future scientists. Teaching practices and students’ evaluations can also be gender biased. Perhaps you think that your teaching practices are gender-fair, but are you sure? Just stop by for 10 minutes and take this self-assessment questionnaire that we have prepared for you to figure it out. This poster includes a QR code that invites you to respond to a self-assessment questionnaire about the inclusion of the gender perspective on University teaching on Aquatic Sciences. The questionnaire includes aspects about self-awareness, teaching preparation, teaching practices, and evaluation practices. Based on your answers, the questionnaire will provide you with a general evaluation as well as guidance to improve the inclusion of gender perspective on your teaching. This educational resource has been developed by the Gender & Science Group of the Iberian Association of Limnology (AIL), as part of the Gender LimnoEdu project (https://www.genderlimno.org/). We have also developed open ready-to-use resources that you can apply to your University courses to improve the visibility of women scientists.
