The social scientist Dr. Christine Scheidegger
- gender inequality expertise
- gender expertise
- social science expertise
I am a Swiss social scientist with a particular interest in gender and gender inequality. I had the privilege to do PhD and postdoc research on gender equality in Switzerland and in a large number of countries on all continents. I enjoyed a broad interdisciplinary education from several universities and travelled internationally for research. I love cleaning and analysing data, collaborating with diverse partners, sharing knowledge and skills and advance knowledge and people. I am open for interesting, paid projects.
The archery partner Christine Scheidegger
- trainer services over bogenstunden.ch (archery independent of a club)
- trainer of Bärner Bogen Sport Club BBSC (archery in a club)
- temporary trainer (for events and clubs)
I launched my own start-up (www.bogenstunden.ch) to provide archery classes for everyone independent of an archery club. Besides that, I am a youth and sport trainer in an archery club in Bern.
The sexism specialist Christine Scheidegger
- anti-sexism workshops for groups and organisations
- editor and author on everyday sexism
- exhibition guide for "Ich säg was lauft"
I published a book on everyday sexism (Sexistische Botschaften) in German-speaking countries. I give workshops for groups and organisations interested to happily avoid and resist everyday sexism. This autumn I guided a couple of school classes through the exhibition "Ich säg was lauft" (prevention of sexual violence in young couples).
The web person/techy Christine Scheidegger
- testing websites, services and products
- building small websites
- gender-sensitivity check
- network knowledge and people
I am fond of social innovation and open source community methods. I work in the multilingual, agile and entrepreneurial environment of the coworking space urbanfish. My specialty is to support people to reach cool, non-discriminating websites, products and services. I test products, services and websites and provide consultancy on gender sensitive appearance. Do you want to build and administer your personal website? I help you along.
The support person Dr. Christine Scheidegger
- writing important texts
- organising/planning important things
- presenting important information
- strategical consultancy
- frank feedback
Do you need a partner to bring your BA-/MA-/PhD-thesis to a good end and have fun along the way? I am not writing your work. You will present. I can train and motivate you. You can get feedback on all critical areas you decide to have feedback. I am not afraid of challenging cases or conditions, such as difficult relations between professor and student, hot topics, psychic obstacles, transgressing behavior in working environments, challenging methods or limited access to research subjects and information. "Easier" cases are welcome as well. I have a lot of experiences to consult, teach and negotiate internationally. Networking and mentoring are my second nature. That might become handy, when my profound methodological skills do not match your demands.
