Gender Studies focuses on both genders and their relations to each other. At the same time, it also takes into account how gender intersects with social, ethnic and cultural differences. These multiple interdependencies allow Gender Studies to produce more precise knowledge. The distinct perspective Gender Studies offers us is best explained with an example of Gender research in Medicine. Gender Studies emphasize the gender blindness of science to reveal that scientific knowledge production (even in the Natural Sciences) is influenced by gender conceptions of the researcher and in the research field.

Description:	Zentrum Gender Studies
	Gender Studies analyzes gender relations in the past, present and future. They advance the understanding of social processes. Thus, they contribute to the solution of key problems societies face today. It is generally known that on average women grow older than men and that they tend to be more health conscious than men. It is less known that women die more frequently of heart diseases than men. How could this be explained? Patients and physicians recognize the specific signs of a heart attack in women, such as nausea and vomiting, too late as heart attack symptoms.
