Creating pathways for gender justice in STEM research in Africa.
GeJuSTA is a multinational project seeking to tackle the problem of underrepresentation of women and the lack of gender analysis in STEM research. Our network has members from universities and NGOs based in Kenya, Uganda, Sweden, South Africa, Zambia, and the United Kingdom.
Achieving gender justice in STEM fields has remained problematic with much of the masculinist and colonialist concepts driving it. With a network of experienced academics, professionals, and other community partners, this project seeks to use a gender transformative approach, rooted in African feminism, ethics of care and ubuntu, to influence policy by identifying barriers and creatively diversifying the framing of STEM and STEA+M pedagogies.
