Project instructions

You should write and present a project, which corresponds to 2 weeks full-time work. When selecting the project, you should think about the following:

  1. It should be about Gender and Physics and based on literature, e.g. the one presented in this course.
  2. Do link it to your own context if possible, and focus on the culture and the substance of physics - not only numbers and statistics.
  3. It is usually not possible to make a research project, unless it is limited. If you like to do statistics and/or interviews, be very careful to limit your expectations and ambition-level. Also, if you are planning a survey or interviews, you do have to consider the Ethics regulations (see LU:s page on this).
  4. It is ok to do a literature study, but it got to extend beyond the main literature/material of this course.

Example of project reports

This is the first time this course is given, but we have given more general courses on gender linked to science and technology. Here are some examples of project reports from 2019:

Here are also two examples from 2019:
