Abstract
The Gendered Design in STEAM (GDS) research Program subsumed the approaches of design, arts, and social sciences to enhance gender aware and inclusive research amongst twenty academic teams of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) located in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The empirical exploration supported the emergence of a transdisciplinary area of research and practice which we defined as ‘gendered design’. The key factors that proved crucial to overcome the disciplinary boundaries and catalyse processes of empowerment were: theoretical and methodological openness, design-driven strategies, and experimentations, as well as a holistic and affective approach to collaborations and relationships.
