(in Polish) PROBAD: Wzorce i praktyki genderowe wśród młodych dorosłych 3500-PROBAD-WPGW
Gender is one of the most important differentiating factors in
modern societies. It is part of individuals' social identities and
often a source of their self-identification, it influences the
positions individuals occupy in power structures, it shapes
interpersonal interactions, and it is created and reproduced in
them. Gender socialisation takes place in families of origin, but
also in other social spaces: educational institutions, peer groups,
workplaces, social and religious organisations, etc. Socio-cultural
gender norms are subject to reproduction, but also to negotiation
and contestation.
Gender relations, gender norms and gendered practices are
influenced by many factors. One important context is the
generational experience of growing up in a particular socio-
historical moment. During the proseminar we will focus on a group
of young adults, i.e. those aged between 18 and 25.
During the course, participants will be introduced to basic
approaches and concepts in the study of socio-cultural gender.
They will also participate in the formulation of research questions,
the creation of a qualitative interview scenario, the conduct of
interviews based on this scenario and their analysis. We will
compare the results of the analyses with the findings of other
studies and consider how the findings of different researchers
relate to each other and how they can inspire further research
explorations.
