A joint master’s program in law and gender, intersectionality and diversity

ended

"The LAWGID project designs a Joint Master's in Law and Gender, Intersectionality and Diversity. It makes a significant educational contribution to the European Commission's priority ""A new push for European democracy"" which includes LGBTIQ equality, ending gender-based violence, rights of the child, rights of persons with disabilities and the rule of law. The proposed joint master's includes all these areas. The composition of the parties involved is unique, since the three universities represent the north, south and east of Europe, with different traditions and cultures. The program does not only include areas of law that obviously relate to gender, intersectionality and diversity, such as criminal law, labor law and human rights. Instead, it also includes traditional areas of law which are less explored and not so often subject to intersectional studies, such as tax law, contract law and company law. The LAWGID project thus fills an important gap in Europe's higher educations in order to tackle . Belgrade University, Lumsa University and Örebro University have together with Saarland University and Cadiz University in the years of 2019-2022 prepared for accreditation for Master Degrees in Law and Gender. Now, the three former universities take the next step towards a joint master's program, also including intersectionality and diversity. In this project, three workshops will be arranged in order to prepare for the joint master's, and decide upon admission criteria, application and selection procedures, teaching and training activities, promotion and awareness-rising strategy, a joint degree policy as well as partnership and student agreements. The workshops will be held at each university, in order to be able to include persons from the international offices, the legal offices, the examination offices and the universities' managements. To each workshop a guest with experience in setting up a joint master's will be invited to share his/her experience. "
