PEREIRA, Maria do Mar. The construction of gender in contemporary portuguese sociology: common problems and practical proposals. Anál. Social [online]. 2023, n.247, pp.196-222.  Epub 30-Jun-2023. ISSN 0003-2573.  https://doi.org/10.31447/as00032573.2023247.01.

Several conceptual and linguistic conventions in Portuguese Sociology are grounded on gendered exclusions and stereotypes which can skew knowledge and reinforce inequalities. In this article, I problematise some of those conventions, analysing their scientific effects and demonstrating their potential impacts on participants and society. Arguing that it is urgent to reflect consciously and critically on the construction of gender within Sociology in Portugal, I draw on insights from feminist critiques to propose strategies that can be applied by sociologists across all areas of expertise to think and write about gender in a more reflexive, rigorous and responsible way.

Palabras clave : gender; feminism; sociological theories; sociological methods.
