Output Area I: Curriculum development: forging links between education and research in a European dimension and Output Area II: Research on education. Developing tools for quality assessment and evaluation
This group is formed by representatives of all the working groups from theme 1 and 2. The group will work towards the integration of all newly developed courses into one or more joint degrees and get certification and accreditation of these degrees in as many partner institutions as possible. This group will build on the knowledge on curriculum development and the Bologna process and its implications for the development of Women and Gender Studies in Europe today, acquired in Athena and ATHENA2. In the final stages of ATHENA2 specific recommendations about how to foster and improve curriculum development in women’s studies and how to develop comparative European perspectives and teaching methods were developed. These will be compared to the Tuning methodology, if necessary recommendations on the gender (in) sensitivity of Tuning will be given.
Output Area I: Curriculum development: forging links between education and research in a European dimension.
Cooperation in the field of graduate training has a long tradition in European women’s studies. In this working group the plans to develop different forms of joint PhD training are further developed. This group will continue the work started in Athena and ATHENA2. In the final stages of Athena II the group collected material for a Handbook for postgraduate training in Women’s/Gender/Feminist Studies (to be published spring 2007). The group will now start working towards a joint doctorate degree. It will increase the cooperation in joint intensive training courses for PhD students, promote PhD student mobility, and cooperate with the Marie Curie Research Training Network (application pending). |
