Aims of the Program:

In light of the development of Gender Studies and Equality at the University level, the program "Gender in Social Sciences" was established in 2003 and attempts to enrich undergraduate education through the introduction of the gender perspective in teaching and research. It is jointly carried out by three departments (Sociology, History and Archaeology, and Philosophy and Social Studies) and financed by the European Community and the Greek Ministry of Education (Operational Program for Education and Initial Vocational Training - EPEAEK).

The aims of the program include the following:

·        the analysis of gender identity and gender construction

·        the analysis of causes (social, political, economic and        cultural) of the division of gender

·        inclusion of gender at the center of contemporary approaches of the social sciences

In order to achieve its aims the program was constructed upon four activities:

	Courses on gender
	Gender research and education laboratory
	Continuous Staff Seminar
	Scientific meetings and activities on gender
