The purpose of this doctorate is to train specialists with advanced and consolidated research expertise to carry out research in gender equality, non-discrimination and gender from the legal, historical, psychological, sociological and educational perspectives. Students are expected to acquire levels of expertise, prestige and capacity on par with any other national or international doctorate. This is facilitated by a selection of top-level and especially trained teaching staff with ample research expertise in areas related to the right to equality, non-discrimination and gender. Furthermore, it involves the participation of the Public Law Institute of the Rey Juan Carlos University, which contributes teachers with long and solvent scientific careers in interdisciplinary gender and equality studies.
The Doctorate in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies and Equality Policies is especially recommended for licentiates and/or graduates in Law, Political Sciences and Public Administration, Audio-visual Media, Social Education, Nursing, Philology, History, Humanities, Sociology, Psychology, Social Work and Labour Relations, and those who have completed the Undergraduate Degree in Equality (exclusively taught at the national level by the Rey Juan Carlos University). It is also suitable for students who have completed other comparable or related Licentiate or Undergraduate degrees, who, given the cross- and interdisciplinary nature of the scientific study of the issue, are advised to have also completed an official master’s degree in the area of gender studies and equality policies.
Research areas and teams
The different research groups that make up this doctoral programme (all of which are stable and have official recognition, and many of which are expressly recognized as having the status of research excellence groups) focus on scientific knowledge on gender and equality policies from very different fields of knowledge. They cover practically all of the scope of the subject and can be summarized, in essence, in the following research areas:
- Fundamental rights, constitutional law and gender and equality
- Mainstreaming of gender (equality policies, gender violence, work-family balance)
- Legal protection of the right of equality
- Affectional bonds, sexuality and gender
- Equality and nondiscrimination on grounds of gender (constitutional perspective)
