Inhalt: In order to avoid continuous seasoned scientist/professional female gender polarization and marginalization in our society, Cameroon Professional Research Oriented Women Network (CaPROWN) took up the initiative – under the sponsorship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) – to propagate a trans-disciplinary research review approach to seek collaboration outside the bounds of female scientific professional experiences to make new discoveries, explore different perspectives, express and exchange ideas, and gain new insights into gender through peer-reviewed volumes like this. Thus, this book is not solely about gender-related research topics, but rather on works of mostly female researchers that have gone through reviewed lenses of experts of different science disciplines.

Myriad potential for mentoring : Understanding the process of transformational change through a gender equality intervention

Inhalt: This article contributes to understanding transformational change towards gender equality by examining the transformational change potential of a mentoring programme for women, a type of gender equality intervention both criticized and praised for its ability to bring about change. Drawing upon an empirical case study of a mentoring programme for women academics in a Dutch university, we explore three dimensions of transformational change: organizational members (i) discussing and reflecting upon gendered organizational norms and work practices; (ii) creating new narratives; and (iii) experimenting with new work practices. Our findings indicate five specific conditions that enable transformational change: cross‐mentoring, questioning what is taken for granted, repeating participation and individual stories, facilitating peer support networks and addressing and equipping all participants as change agents. We suggest that these conditions should be taken into account when (re)designing effective organizational gender equality interventions.
