In collaboration with the University of Basel, this storytelling project explored women’s experiences of COVID-19 in Hong Kong in relation to gender equality. Students explored the concept of gender, the meanings of “woman”, diversity of women, and what the experience of living as a woman is like in Hong Kong, developed an understanding of gender inequality, reflected critically on the impacts of COVID-19 on women and gender equality, increased gender sensitivity in conducting research, and enhanced the everyday practices of students regarding gender equality.
Through workshops and fieldwork interviews, students gained an understanding of the experiences of women and their lived experiences during the pandemic, while developing research and oral storytelling capacities.
