Description:
The Gender Centre at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies offers training and produces research on the workings of gender in development and international relations. The Centre serves as a channel for the dissemination of such knowledge in both the anglophone and the francophone worlds. The hub of these activities, Pôle genre et développement, is a clearinghouse of information on gender and development and a training centre in the francophone world. The Gender Centre seeks to advance solutions to gender injustice, discrimination and exclusion drawing on the tools of social science analysis. Its research, training, and outreach activities focus on two thematic areas: the transformations of gender resulting from processes of globalisation, and development and the politics of gender in a globally-connected world.
