French term or phrase: dégageant
here's the full sentence. I'm struggling with dégageant in this context.
La démarche de l’équipe CIMBIOSE permet donc de prendre en compte la transversalité de la division sexuelle du travail tout en dégageant l’impact des dimensions économique, juridique et bien évidemment politique de la réparation, lesquelles sont en rapport direct avec les choix de prérogatives scientifiques pour la production de connaissances.
TIA Chris.

identifying


Explanation:
"Identifying" might be a solution here. But I think that the other answer - "highlighting" works as well, as would "distinguishing," "pinpointing," and maybe even "defining," although that would be a bit more vague.

Good luck!

agree  MSWeston: "isolating" is interesting as well as "identifying"
1 hr
  -> Thanks MSW. It really depends how much precision is required (or pretended to). The source text term does seem to be closer to "isolating".
neutral  Cynthia Johnson (X): not exactly the same meaning here

teasing out


Explanation:
we often use this term in academic research, such as in 'teasing out the implications of' as well as all the imagery associated with weaving, unraveling etc and bringing to light. But in your context, what they mean by degageant is really this idea of puliing out one idea from a vague or messy/unclear mass of other ideas or facts. Highlighting could also work, but it is a slightly idfferent nuance.
