Capacity Building On Research In Gender And Development – Graduate Education

Graduate Education

As part of GDS-AIT’s engagement in increasing the capacity of students and lecturers at YUE, AIT has offered opportunities for them to complete either certificate degrees or full master’s degrees. As of early 2020, GDS has received three full time master’s degree students and two certificate students from YUE. We plan to have an additional 2 or 3 certificate students this year. As part of their degrees in Gender and Development Studies, these students learn how to integrate gender into their research, formulate a clear gender-related research problem, conduct gender-analysis, as well as acquire strong quantitative and qualitative research and data collection skills. These skills will contribute to both strengthening the capacity of YUE faculty members’ gender-related analytical skills, and help integrate gender into YUE curriculum

“I am Than Win Htay, a lecturer at YUE. I completed certificate course of Gender and Development Studies, under the joint project between Asian Institute of Technology and Yangon University of Economics. I would like to thank IDRC for their support for me to study the Certificate Course.

 By attending this program, I have gained wider knowledge. I can share this knowledge to students and colleagues at YUE. I also gained different experiences. Doing research is one of the most important things that we faculty members need to do. Another thing that I gained from this program is on how to do research and projects. Therefore, as a teaching staff, this program is valuable for me and it absolutely can support my current and future career. I had the opportunity to study new subjects, so I have gained new knowledge and experience.”

“AIT is a great place for students. I found that the instructor was overall excellent. The teaching of the material was really good. Before I took this class I had no knowledge of gender and to be honest, I understood gender as something that concerns women only. After attending this class I feel clarify that gender studies involve the study of both men and women. Gender is about a particular performance of identity, and gendered roles and norms are intimately intertwined into and practiced in our everyday lives. This class was incredibly useful for my continued progress in my academic field. I am truly great for the IDRC scholarship support. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”
