Jennifer Elise Branlat
About
I am associate professor in gender, equality, and diversity studies. I have a Ph.D. in French Cultural Studies from Ohio State University (US), with a specific focus on gender (2012). From 2012-2015, I worked on pedagogically-innovative Humanities curriculum at Antioch College (US). I am project leader for the HK-Dir funded project Teaching Gender Equality and Diversity in Norway and Japan and project coordinator for the INTPART project Norway - Japan: Bridging Research and Education in Gender Equality and Diversity.
I am also course coordinator for the course HFO1004: Special Topics in the Environmental Humanities, a lecture & project-based learning course on a wide range of interdisciplinary topics in the humanities.
My research interests include:
Feminist pedagogy & embodiment
Eco-feminism
Micro-dynamics of inclusion
Micro-phenomenology to investigate lived experiences
On-going teaching and learning projects:
Development of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) in Norway-Japan education partnerships
Norway - Japan: Bridging Research and Education in Gender Equality and Diversity (INTPART 2019-2023)
Teaching Gender Equality and Diversity in Norway and Japan (UTFORSK: 2021-2025)
