The empiric approach of the book leads us to understand why we need an inclusive gaze in research and teaching. The volume is enhanced with interviews to women who involve gender topics in their work, whether in politics or movements: Emma Bonino, Annalisa Rabitti, Pamela Fussi, Federica Mazzoni, Natalia Maramotti and Anna Maria Crispino.
Italy has a low female presence in politics especially in the top positions: the World Economic Forum analyses that estimate the Global Gender Gap, tell us that in 2021, in 156 countries analyzed, women make up only 26% of all parliaments and occupy only 23% of ministerial positions. Italy ranks 63 in the overall ranking and 41 in the representation and political power of women. The set of contributions proposed here investigates the factors that keep women away from politics and participation, focusing on the impact of gender issues addressed in university-level courses. Is there a positive correlation between the proposal of courses and master’s degrees that apply a gender approach and the degree of political participation and active citizenship of the students who follow them? With what gender stereotypes and prejudices do the younger generations arrive at the end of the school cycle? Do they cultivate political subjectivity as a possibility of change? Can academic teaching help to become aware of the right to gender citizenship?
