Methods of Sex And Gender Analysis

Designing Sex and Gender Analysis into Basic and Applied Research

This section presents state-of-the art methods of sex and gender analysis. Methods of sex and gender analysis serve to enhance objectivity in science and engineering. As with any set of methods, new ones will be fashioned and others discarded as circumstances change. Some transfer easily from science to science, others do not. The value of their implementation depends, as with other research methods, on the creativity of the research team. There is no recipe that can simply be plugged into research design. Researchers will want to consider all methods and think creatively about how these methods can enhance their own research.

This website section presents general methodology. Methods are applied in case studies.
