Together we examine the role sex/gender plays as a research variable of interest in the different fields of STEM. Combining epistemologies from gender studies with scientific and technical experimentation, we explore, for instance...

  • the pitfalls and benefits of Interdisciplinary research
  • if women and men use technology in a different way
  • sex | gender aspects and cognitive biases within coding and algorithms
  • effects of gender stereotype threat in the brain: the impact of task specifity and threshold measures in linguistic fMRI research when comparing hemispheric lateralisation in the brains of women and men
  • the way research questions on sex/gender are operationalised and implemented
  • how sex/gender differences are quantitatively measured in the different fields of STEM
  • which scientific methods are used to show sex/gender diversity or sex/gender dissimilarities
