Faire une thèse sur le genre, une nouvelle manière de faire de la recherche

Value of the Information & Strength of the Argument

The value of the information lies in its first-hand accounts of the realities of conducting gender studies research, offering concrete examples of the challenges and opportunities. The argumentation is solid, as the speakers ground their experiences in specific research projects and institutional contexts. They effectively argue that gender studies PhDs represent a new way of doing research, characterized by interdisciplinarity, collective solidarity, and a close link to social movements. The discussion is nuanced, acknowledging both the progress made and the persistent fragility of the field.

Scientific Rigor, Source Quality, Title Accuracy

The scientific rigor is high, as the speakers are all researchers with completed PhDs and current postdoctoral positions. They reference specific research projects, such as Emmanuel Beaubatie’s thesis on trans experiences and his work with the INED. The sources cited are primarily institutional (CNRS, Institut du Genre, Effigie) and are mentioned in the context of the discussion. The title accurately reflects the content, which focuses on the experience of doing a PhD on gender. The discussion is well-structured and grounded in academic practice.

The title accurately reflects the content, which focuses on the experience of doing a PhD on gender and how it constitutes a new way of conducting research.
