An educational event was held for 3rd-year students majoring in Sociology at the Department of Sociology and Social Work, Faculty of Philosophy and Political Science, within the framework of the UN SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities)
袗n educational event was organized by Doctor of Sociology, Associate professor N. U. Shedenova and first-year Master's student in Sociology A. B. Mussayeva. Third-year students majoring in Sociology (Faculty of Philosophy and Political Science, Department of Sociology and Social Work) participated the event which was held within the framework of UN SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).
The students were asked to draw a map of Almaty from the perspective of future sociologists and identify "powerful" and "vulnerable" areas in terms of security. This practical activity helped them see the map of Almaty through the eyes of future sociologists and, of course, through the eyes of the female students themselves. An engaging and productive discussion ensued on the sociological tools needed to measure the women's safety index in Almaty. The students also shared their personal experiences with the city and its infrastructure, providing feedback on urban improvements, the current state of the transportation system, and more.
The result of this discussion was an illustrated map of the city through the eyes of female sociology students, which could serve as excellent material for discussing urban micro-reforms from a sociological, gender equality and social urbanism perspectives.
