Im Seminar werden wir theoretische und praktische Herangehensweisen der Gender Medizin kennenlernen. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Professionssoziologische Untersuchung der jungen Wissenschaftsdisziplin, welche aus der Frauengesundheitsforschung hervorgegangen ist. Dieser Ursprung stellt sie einerseits an den Rand der Medizin, andererseits betreffen die Erkenntnisse der geschlechtersensiblen Medizin alle medizinischen Subdisziplinen und das männliche und weibliche Geschlecht, wodurch sie in Anerkennung und Wirkungsmacht stetig wächst. Es wird im Seminar darum gehen die traditionelle Medizin als soziologischen Raum vor dem Hintergrund der Geschlechterstudien kennen zu lernen und dabei die Gender Medizin als Mittlerin zu erfahren, zu analysieren und kritisch zu hinterfragen.
Although some of the literature will be in German I explicitly invite English speaking students and am willing to set up an extra literature list if you want to participate. Spoiler ahead, trans- and intersexuality are not the main focus of sex- and gender-sensitive medicine. Furthermore, am I excited to debate about the dilemma of the maintained binary system in biomedical research.
In this seminar we are going to take a look at the profession of medicine particularly the subdivision of sex-and gender-sensitive medicine (SGSM) that has become prominent in the past twenty years. Its origin is to be found in the women's health movement, nevertheless does SGSM care about the well-being of men and women. We will try to decipher the traditional medicine as sociological sphere in front of the background of the gender studies and position SGSM somewhere inbetween.
