Our 5 course specialization on Coursera will help you learn how to use Gender Analytics to create more equitable impact!

What is Gender Analytics?

Gender Analytics is a way to analyze your products, services, processes and policies with a gender lens to uncover hidden opportunities for innovation and improved effectiveness. You will discover the ways that gender identity, Indigeneity, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and other intersections shape risks, opportunities and impacts of many of your organization’s activities, operations, and outcomes.

 

“Most organizations don’t appreciate the hidden ways that gender can shape outcomes. We are introducing Gender Analytics to provide executives, managers and analysts with core competencies in uncovering risks and opportunities that can lead to innovative product, service, process and policy design.”

Sarah Kaplan, Director, Institute for Gender and the Economy
