Overview
The goal of this short course is to bring together leading experts of gender equality machineries across the globe to identify and discuss the current research agenda for studying these complex and crucial institutions. The OSCE guide, Institutional Machineries for Gender Equality as Critical Actors: A Guide for Success (2023), based on a mixed methods study conducted in the 56 participating state of the Organization for Security and Cooperation of Europe, under Amy G. Mazur’s direction, will be used as a starting point for the discussion of emerging research agendas. An e-version of the guide will be made available to registered participants prior to the course. Presenters will be given 15 minutes each to discuss their research and time will be left for discussion and questions from the audience after the presentation for each session.
