Theme 6: Developing and Applying Methods of Sex/Gender Analysis in Research for SDGs
This session presents latest advances in research methods to understand when, why and how biological (sex) and socio-cultural (gender) characteristics of studied populations, and in their ecological contexts, impact on research results and differentiate quality of research outcomes for women/females and men/males.

Modules in Theme 6: Developing and Applying Methods of Sex/Gender Analysis in Research for SDGs
Theme 6 Introduction
Prof Schraudner explains that when achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls we need to look far beyond increasing their representation.
Gender Issues in Community Design for Ageing in Place
Prof Rieh explains how to design cities that are senior and gender friendly. Senior women in Korea form the biggest proportion of citizens but also the poorest.
New analysis of the literature on SDGs to identify across which SDGs (beyond SDG5) gender research is being incorporated and where gaps may still exist
Dr Falk-Krzesinski explains the new analysis of how much of the available research on SDGs also includes considerations of gender dimension.
Advancing best practice for incorporation of gender analysis in health research
Dr Heidari explains why it is essential to incorporate methods of sex/gender analysis into research design and communication and how different agencies and actors: regulatory agencies, research fun
Integrating sex/gender methods into human biomonitoring studies
Dr Groth reports on the efforts of the INGER project to create alternative definitions and representations of gender going beyond the binary evaluation of the sex assigned at birth to establish a m
Intersectional perspectives in digitalisation of science and society
Prof Schiebinger explains the efforts to remove and prevent gender and other types of bias in research and innovation by closing gaps in understanding how sex and gender influence results and diffe
