Programme details
Coined and developed by Professor Londa Schiebinger of Stanford University, Gendered Innovations is a groundbreaking approach that aims to drive innovation by incorporating sex and gender analysis into research and development processes.
The event will focus on answering the question “What is Gendered Innovations?” It will be divided into four parts: a lecture, a panel discussion, students’ presentations, and an introduction to the Intersectional Design Cards.
The first part of the event will feature a lecture that explores the concept of Gendered Innovations, with examples of research and development across diverse fields and an examination of the challenges and opportunities ahead. In the second part, researchers from Ochanomizu University will take part in a panel discussion exploring their works and the practical applications of Gendered Innovations. The third part will highlight presentations by Ochanomizu University students who participated in the course “Introduction to Gendered Innovations.” These students will propose ideas for new products and initiatives inspired by the Gendered Innovations framework. The fourth part will introduce the Intersectional Design Cards, which can be used in a workshop to help develop ideas based on Gendered Innovations.
This event will provide a unique opportunity to explore how a sex/gender conscious and intersectional approach to research and technology, empowered by Gendered Innovations, can contribute to a more inclusive society that celebrates individual differences and promotes well-being for all in the global community.
We invite you to join us for Gendered Innovations and discover how gender and intersectional perspectives can inspire new ideas and innovations!
