1. general information, formulation of research questions, analysis and reporting
In any research design, it is essential to consider gender-specific aspects in the formulation of research questions, analysis and reporting. This is crucial in order to take into account biological, socio-cultural and psychological characteristics and variations that can have a significant impact on the results and interpretation of studies. By integrating gender and diversity sensitivity at every stage, researchers can achieve more comprehensive, equitable and relevant results.
Intersectionality
The concept of intersectionality refers to the analysis of overlapping aspects of diversity. Kimberly Crenshaw (1991) described the concept as a way of describing the reinforcing, synergistic effects of different forms of discrimination and inequalities that exist simultaneously. The concept has become one of the most important concepts for analyzing the intersection and interaction of different diversity categories such as gender, race/racialization, socioeconomic status, disability, sexuality, age and many more.
