Gender in the academy: study programs of the Universidad Nacional de Córdova (Córdova National University)

Abstract

The Universidad Nacional de Córdova (CNU) is a trailblazer in Argentina as it was the first to create a doctorate in Gender Studies. This would appear to signal some progress in regards with the matter, however, what is taking place in major studies? Is gender a perspective implemented? because of the careers? Is gender considered cross-sectional to all studies, whether medium level, technical, and university high level? This study explores particularly into the higher levels of university studies in order to inquire whether gender studies are included in the academy deriving from the revision and analysis of study programs of the only state university open in Córdoba (the second most important city in Argentina); to this end, a method was implemented to statistically analyze the study programs of all careers, undergraduate and graduate which are taught at UNC, then, reflected about the inclusion or absence of feminist courses or directly related gender studies in said institution.
