Advancing Gender Inclusivity in Teaching Plans: Findings and Recommendations from Eight European Universities — White Paper

Year: 2025

Type: report

Abstract: This white paper presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of teaching plans from eight European universities, focusing on the integration of gender perspectives in curricula. Conducted within the framework of the GEDIS project (Gender Diversity in Information Science: Challenges in Higher Education), the study employed a standardised rubric to evaluate course documentation across disciplines. Key findings highlight persistent gaps in the inclusion of gender-related content, diversity policies, and inclusive pedagogical practices, alongside examples of good practice. The paper concludes with evidence-based recommendations aimed at enhancing gender inclusivity in higher education curricula. This resource is intended for academics, librarians, curriculum designers, and quality assurance teams seeking to promote equity and diversity in teaching and learning environments.
