Integration of JML in education (JMLIU)

KTH has set a goal for knowledge and awareness of gender and gender equality to be integrated into all educational programmes, so that after graduation, students are able to contribute to a more gender equal society. The content of the programmes must convey knowledge about JML so that students know what the concepts of gender equality and equality mean, how they are linked to sustainable development, how gender inequality and inequality can be expressed, and that gender equality and equality require change management. In order for students to receive interpretations and explanations of knowledge about JML, it is often appropriate for knowledge from gender research to be conveyed. In the teaching and learning in higher education programmes, knowledge about JML and gender-conscious and inclusive pedagogy must be conveyed. When designing courses and study programmes, there must be a clear structure for when and how the integration takes place in each programme and a clear structure for follow-up via programme analyses in the quality system. When implementing courses and study programmes, teachers must work for a gender-equal and equal educational environment free from discrimination, for example, through procedures and information in order to counteract harassment and sexual harassment and by practising gender-conscious and inclusive pedagogy as part of the work with KTH's ethics and values. 2021: The Director of First and Second Cycle Education and the Director of Third Cycle Education at each school shall jointly identify ten degree programmes that will integrate JML in 2021. Support for programme directors and teachers during implementation is offered through ‘Necessären’ (web-based resource) and other educational materials (see 2.3.2 below), higher education teaching courses and workshops. 2022-2025: Further development of the work to integrate JML in all of KTH's education programmes based on the follow-up of results from the previous year's activities through KTH Equality Office's own follow-ups and regular quality assurance system. Continued support for teachers will be offered through Necessären (web-based resource) and other educational material (see also 3.3.2 below), higher education teaching courses and workshops, as well as the KTH Library. This support is offered by the KTH Equality Office in collaboration with the Department of Learning in Engineering Sciences and the Department of Industrial Economics and Management (INDEK) at the School of Industrial Engineering and Management. Activities are updated and developed according to the needs of the respective organisation.
