Part 1: Thursday 08/02 & Part 2: Tuesday 12/03 - 13h30-15h30

The course has been designed in two parts. Firstly, a brief review and in-depth analysis of the concepts covered in the introductory course on gender theory. The notions of gender and sex will be discussed and placed in an intersectional perspective, in order to address the broader notions of diversity and inclusion. Pedagogical reflexes and deconstruction exercises will already be covered in this first part. In a second phase, a month or so later, so that everyone has been able to integrate this dimension and put it into practice, test it, in their academic (and private) lives, a second session will take these notions and concepts a step further, and use them as a basis for developing pedagogical reflexes on a number of levels: dealing with students, building a curriculum, teaching subject matter and practices, managing speaking, evaluation criteria...

Speaker: Mathieu de Wasseige did his doctoral thesis in Languages and Letters (ULB), in the field of Cultural Studies, on the way ideology is conveyed in prime-time TV series on American networks. The latter included a chapter on gender and sexuality. He has since worked on and taught about the representation of gender (and masculinities) in series and popular culture at large. He is Head of Studies and teaches at Ihecs, Brussels, where he has, among other things, created and taught a course entitled "Introduction to Gender Studies." He is administrator of the non-profit organization Sophia, where he works mainly on gender issues in non-university higher education, and scientific collaborator in the STRIGES network (Structure de recherche Interdisciplinaire sur le genre, l'égalité et la sexualité, ULB). He regularly gives training courses on the gender dimension in higher education and was a pedagogical expert for the FWB (CAPAES commission) for ten years.
