As a result, the notion of inner transformation (or inner transition) has emerged as a new area of exploration. The course explores this new area and creates space and opportunities for learning and knowledge development on this topic. Inner transformation, as used here, describes changes in the sphere of human interiority related to people’s (expanded) consciousness, mindsets, values, and beAs a result, the notion of inner transformation (or inner transition) has emerged as a new area of exploration.

Kursen består av två delkurser: Den första delen av kursen utgör en kort introduktion till genusvetenskap och dess tillämpning på naturvetenskap och teknik. Olika teorier inom genusforskning presenteras. Områden som lärandet av naturvetenskap och teknik, dess historia, kunskapsproduktion och kultur analyseras ur ett genusperspektiv. Både statistiska, kvantitativa och kvalitativa analyseIn this course we will learn about a gender perspective on Science and Technology. The course starts with a theoretical part, where we look at what we know from research and investigations. During this you will familiarise yourself with some of the literature on the subject.  The second part is a project, where you approach one question within the field and do a more thorough literature searc
