Descrizione

Integrating gender perspectives into research can lead to new insights and yield more precise and valid results. By gender perspectives, we refer to research that explicitly includes the sex and/or gender dimension as part of its design and analysis. There is no single or definitive way to achieve this; rather, there are multiple approaches to addressing sex and gender within research content.
The absence of sex/gender perspectives may result in biased findings, while their uncritical inclusion can inadvertently reinforce gender stereotypes. Gender perspectives are not always relevant to every research topic, and there is no universally “correct” way to apply them. Researchers who engage with gender perspectives draw on a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches.
Including the gender dimension in a research project does not necessarily mean emphasizing differences between men and women. Instead, it involves exploring how gender relations operate in various contexts and intersect with other factors such as age, income, education, ethnicity, and geographic location.
Incorporating gender perspectives does not automatically imply a focus on power relations. However, it is essential that researchers critically reflect on their own -and others’- often unconscious assumptions about gender, and avoid reproducing gender stereotypes when interpreting data. After all, research itself is a critical endeavor.
Asking critical questions is fundamental to generating new knowledge. The meaning of gender in any given context should be continuously and critically examined throughout the research process, just as any other underlying assumption would be.

Lucio Pisacane is a researcher at the Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies (IRPPS-CNR). He works on studies and research focusing on human resources for science, gender equality, and diversity and inclusion in research organizations. He participated in the European H2020 project GENERA and is currently the CNR contact person for the H2020 project MINDTHEGEPS. He supports actions and measures to promote gender equality and diversity management in research organizations, with the belief that inclusive and diverse work environments foster creativity and improve the quality of scientific work.

Since February 2023, he has been coordinating the European project gEneSys, “Transforming Gendered Interrelations of Power and Inequalities for Just Energy Systems,” which focuses on the social and gender aspects of the energy transition.

In 2021, he served as a national expert for the European Institute for Gender Equality, and since 2022 he has been a member of the expert group at the European Commission on the consequences of the pandemic on the research and innovation system. Together with Cristiana Crescimbene, he represents the CNR in the technical monitoring group of the “No Women No Panel” campaign promoted by RAI.

His research interests include Open Science (through the OpenUP project) and the transformation of agricultural labor in Italy (in collaboration with the Placido Rizzotto Observatory of FLAI CGIL), as well as the Libera la Terra project on severe labor exploitation in the primary sector and the EATS project on social dialogue in agriculture (FAI-CISL).

In recent years, he has supported the drafting, management, and research activities of several European projects under the 7th Framework Programme, Horizon 2020, and Horizon Europe.
