Gender audit as method for organizational change in higher education

Abstract

Funded through a UNDP grant, this study sought to demystify the methodological processes to understand gender-related practices evident one University. As such, this presentation examines gender audit as a research method for organizational learning and change in a higher education context in post-Soviet Kazakhstan. Using one key part of the formal curriculum--course syllabi—the gender audit results provide a first step toward informing both gender policy at the University and also guidelines for other organizations in the region interested in examining their own policies as they move towards greater gender equality.
