The most recent research has shown how many fields of scientific knowledge—from the humanities to medicine, to social sciences and engineering—insufficiently account for sex and gender variables. Stereotypes and biases persist in research and technological developments, which are often construed as a universal standard when they are actually realities, experiences and expectations from a group of mostly white males with a certain economic standing, and deem the realities of other individuals as deviations from the norm. As with any other field of human activity, science is not free from the cultural and social conditioning of its era. Gender stereotypes and lower social consideration that women are subject to often translate into a stereotyped and inferior consideration of their specific realities within research, whether social or biological.
The field of gender studies has contributed to revealing and discovering hitherto unexplored areas of reality, whilst reducing bias and errors in concepts and theories.
This proposed PhD in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies responds and meets the demand for the scientific policy developed and supported by the European Union and Spanish legislation for over a decade, which urgently and necessarily requires appropriate training at the highest level of academe. Only training with a specific focus on research will be able to provide the necessary expert scientific analysis to consolidate the aforementioned scientific and research policies.
Moreover, this is an interuniversity PhD programme with participation from the University of La Laguna, University of Alicante, University of Alcalá, University of the Balearic Islands, University of Huelva, University Jaume I of Castellón, Univeristy Rey Juan Carlos and the Autonomous University of Madrid, which is also the coordinating centre for the PhD programme.
