Examining Gender in Higher Education (EGHE): STEM and beyond. A UK-African Countries Network.

高等教育中的性别研究（EGHE）：探索STEM及其他领域的性别参与和成功模式。英国-非洲国家网络。拟议的网络，高等教育中的性别审查（EGHE），将学者和活动家聚集在一起，在一系列非洲国家和英国的性别和高等教育（HE）中比较关注的关键领域分享和建立知识和专业知识；为解决该领域迫切关注的关键问题的持续研究奠定基础。已经确定了一个关键的关注领域：女性学生在STEM科目中的参与和成功。这是与性别平等和社会正义目标有关的一个关键重点领域，并直接支持网络成员国在经济和基础设施发展方面的关键优先事项。将在这一重点领域进行范围界定工作，并在更广泛的范围内，作为性别平等和高等教育网络活动的一部分，在成员国就与性别和高等教育有关的问题进行范围界定工作，以便编写政策简报，并确定和发展今后合作的进一步关键领域（包括联合研究投标）。该网络涉及卢旺达、乌干达和冈比亚具有跨学科专业知识的学术同事之间的合作伙伴关系；以及英国格拉斯哥大学（University of Glasgow），该网络的管理将在那里进行。最后，该网络将受益于与一个著名的泛非非政府组织的伙伴关系，该组织致力于与性别和教育有关的问题，其重点是STEM：非洲妇女教育家论坛（FAWE）。总体目标：将英国和一系列非洲国家在性别和高等教育、性别和STEM方面有专长和兴趣的学者聚集在一起，从相互知识交流中受益。子目标：合作开展活动，扩大/交流有关当前影响妇女在高等教育（作为学生/毕业生和/或学术人员）参与和成功的关注问题的知识（研究个别国家的问题，也比较跨国家的问题）。以及在参与国的一系列STEM学科上取得成功（再次以国家和比较为重点）。鼓励跨学科和跨学科合作(特别是在教育家、（社会学家和STEM学者）发展所有参与国家ecr的研究能力，提供强有力的研究联系，为这些主题的未来合作研究项目奠定基础。网络活动该网络将通过与政策制定者、从业者、和其他利益相关者通过一系列活动，包括两个范围界定练习，绘制当前文献和成员国家背景下的关键问题（一个关于高等教育中的性别和STEM主题，另一个确定进一步的关键关注领域）。这些活动的调查结果将被编写成便于查阅的政策简报，并翻译成法文，在一些学术和利益攸关方活动中散发，包括在内罗毕举行的FAWE三年期大会。进一步的网络活动包括可访问的网站/社交媒体存在；为网站制作短片；学术成果包括一篇同行评审的期刊论文和一份合作研究资助提案。

Examining Gender in Higher Education (EGHE): exploring gendered patterns of participation and success in STEM and beyond. A UK-African Countries Network.The proposed network, Examining Gender in Higher Education (EGHE), draws together academics and activists to share and build knowledge and expertise on key areas of concern in gender and higher education (HE) comparatively across a range of African countries as well as the UK; and to build the foundations for sustained research that will address key issues of pressing concern in the field. One key area of concern has already been identified: participation and success of women students in STEM subjects. This is a crucial focus area in relation to the goals of gender equality and social justice, and directly supports key priorities of network member countries in terms of economic and infrastructural development.Scoping work will be undertaken in this focus area and also more broadly on issues related to gender and higher education in member countries as part of the EGHE network's activities, in order to produce policy briefings and to identify and develop further key areas for future collaboration (including a joint research bid). The network involves a collaborative partnership between academic colleagues with interdisciplinary expertise based in Rwanda, Uganda, and The Gambia; and at the University of Glasgow, UK, where the administration of the network will be undertaken. Finally the network will benefit from partnership with a prominent pan-African NGO working on issues relating to gender and education, with a key identified focus on STEM: the Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE). Network Aims Overall aim: To bring together academics with expertise and interests in gender and HE, and gender and STEM in the UK and in a range of African countries to benefit from mutual knowledge exchange.Sub-aims:To collaborate on activities that will expand/exchange knowledge on current issues of concern affecting women's participation and success at HE (as students/graduates and/or academic staff) in the countries involved (looking at issues in individual countries and also comparatively across countries)To specifically look at the issue of women's participation in, experiences of, and success at a range of STEM subjects in the participating countries (again with national and comparative foci)To encourage cross- and interdisciplinary collaborations (notably between educationalists, sociologists and STEM academics)To develop the research capacity of ECRs in all participating countries To provide strong research links that will form the basis for future collaborative research projects on these themesNetwork ActivitiesThe network will create impact in relation to policy and practice within and outside HE institutions, by engaging with policymakers, practitioners, and other stakeholders through a range of activities including two Scoping Exercises mapping the current literature and key issues in members' national contexts (one on the topic of Gender and STEM in HE and one identifying further areas of key concern). The findings of these exercises will be developed into accessible policy briefings, translated into French, which will be disseminated at a number of academic and stakeholder events including FAWE's triennial general meeting in Nairobi. Further network activities include an accessible website/social media presence; the production of a short film for the website; and academic outputs including a peer-reviewed journal paper and a collaborative research grant proposal.
