Despite the prolific normative framework on gender mainstreaming in academic institutions, its implementation has not been effective. This article pays attention to the Political Science curriculum. First, we examine the syllabi of first-year courses of all the Political Science degrees offered in Spain through several quantitative indicators and carry out a qualitative content analysis of the main introductory textbooks. Second, we evaluate the impact of such pervasive gender-blind curriculum on students, by means of the case study of a single university, through focus groups. The existing gap between the normative framework on gender mainstreaming in universities and the practice of its implementation, specifically as regards the curriculum, allows us to reflect on how this deficit can limit the development of students’ critical thinking and make their future professional practice reproduce gender inequalities.
