520 3 |a This study examines the integration of gender studies into Kazakhstan's higher education curricula, emphasizing their effectiveness, teaching methods, and challenges in fostering gender awareness and equality. Utilizing a qualitative research design, the study combines content analysis of over 5,000 active educational programs with in-depth interviews with faculty experienced in teaching gender studies in Kazakhstan. Twenty-nine universities across the country offer 98 gender-related courses, reflecting the growing commitment of Kazakhstan's higher education system to addressing gender issues through academic programs. The research identifies various undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. course offerings, emphasizing an interdisciplinary approach that includes sociology, psychology, linguistics, and management, among other fields. The study findings also highlight several challenges, such as the lack of standardized curricula, limited resources, inconsistent institutional support, and cultural resistance to specific sensitive topics, including radical feminism. Faculty interviews underscore the need for professional development in gender/feminist pedagogy and emphasize the importance of the university administration's support for gender studies programs. This study contributes to global discussions on gender studies education by shedding light on Kazakhstan's unique challenges and opportunities. While limited by its focus on certain universities and several educators, the study provides a foundation for future research on the long-term impacts of gender studies education in Kazakhstan. Addressing these challenges could advance gender equality initiatives and foster broader societal transformation, emphasizing the critical role of gender studies courses in achieving an equitable future.
