Auswirkungen von Antifeminismus auf Frauenverbände : Demokratie-Empowerment als Gegenstrategie
Herausgeber/in:
Deutscher Frauenrat
Quelle: Deutscher Frauenrat; , 2020.
Inhalt: "Die demokratische (Alltags-)Kultur, Menschenrechte und Gleichstellungspolitik stehen seit Jahren unter Druck. Autoritäre, neurechte und menschenfeindliche Ideologien und Bewegungen gewinnen an Bedeutung – ihr Türöffner und Verstärker ist der Antifeminismus.
Diese beunruhigenden Entwicklungen machen auch vor dem Deutschen Frauenrat und seinen Mitgliedsverbänden nicht Halt. Um abzubilden, wie Antifeminismus den Arbeitsalltag in Frauenorganisationen beeinflusst und verändert, hat der DF die Amadeu Antonio Stiftung mit der Erstellung einer Expertise beauftragt. Diese Expertise werden wir in Kürze unter dem Titel „Auswirkungen von Antifeminismus auf Frauenverbände – Demokratie-Empowerment als Gegenstrategie“ veröffentlichen. Darin werden konkrete Effekte antifeministischer und antidemokratischer Ideologien und Strategien auf die DF-Mitgliedsverbände beleuchtet und wirksame Gegenstrategien und Ideen für ein Demokratie-Empowerment aus der Praxisperspektive präsentiert."
ACT Community Mapping Report: Cooperation, Barriers and Progress in Advancing Gender Equality in Research Organisations

Inhalt: This deliverable presents the results of the ACT community survey and subsequent analysis. The survey was conducted in order to gain knowledge on existing practices regarding gender equality in Research Performing and Research Funding Organisations, their networks as well as needs and support. Moreover, it aimed at identifying potential members of Communities of Practice (CoPs).
A Social Network Analysis (SNA) shows existing cooperation clusters and identifies central actors in the European landscape of research organisations. It also indicates regions that are so far disconnected from the European network and which are interested in becoming part of a CoP.
The reported barriers and consequent needs of survey respondents further provide important information for the ACT consortium to develop suitable support and helpful tools to promote and strengthen existing and future collaborations.
The survey mainly reached Higher Education Institutions, but also other research institutions, in almost all EU28 countries, which was the regional focus of the study. Half of the respondents are researchers, one third have a leading position and nearly one third hold a position like equal opportunities officer – all these three groups overlap. The interest in ACT turned out to be very high: More than half of the respondents want to become members of a Community of Practice.
Deliverable 1.2 of the ACT project.

Gender-based homophily in collaborations across a heterogeneous scholarly landscape

Inhalt: Using the corpus of JSTOR articles, we investigate the role of gender in collaboration patterns across the scholarly landscape by analyzing gender-based homophily--the tendency for researchers to co-author with individuals of the same gender. For a nuanced analysis of gender homophily, we develop methodology necessitated by the fact that the data comprises heterogeneous sub-disciplines and that not all authorships are exchangeable. In particular, we distinguish three components of gender homophily in collaborations: a structural component that is due to demographics and non-gendered authorship norms of a scholarly community, a compositional component which is driven by varying gender representation across sub-disciplines, and a behavioral component which we define as the remainder of observed homophily after its structural and compositional components have been taken into account. Using minimal modeling assumptions, we measure and test for behavioral homophily. We find that significant behavioral homophily can be detected across the JSTOR corpus and show that this finding is robust to missing gender indicators in our data. In a secondary analysis, we show that the proportion of female representation in a field is positively associated with significant behavioral homophily.
Inhalt: In this paper, we analyze a major part of the research output of the Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS) community in the period 2000 to 2016 from a network analytical perspective. We focus on the papers presented at the European and U.S. NKOS workshops and in addition four special issues on NKOS in the last 16 years. For this purpose, we have generated an open dataset, the "NKOS bibliography" which covers the bibliographic information of the research output. We analyze the co-authorship network of this community which results in 123 papers with a sum of 256 distinct authors. We use standard network analytic measures such as degree, betweenness and closeness centrality to describe the co-authorship network of the NKOS dataset. First, we investigate global properties of the network over time. Second, we analyze the centrality of the authors in the NKOS network. Lastly, we investigate gender differences in collaboration behavior in this community. Our results show that apart from differences in centrality measures of the scholars, they have higher tendency to collaborate with those in the same institution or the same geographic proximity. We also find that homophily is higher among women in this community. Apart from small differences in closeness and clustering among men and women, we do not find any significant dissimilarities with respect to other centralities.
Evaluation des Kompetenzzentrums "Frauen für Naturwissenschaft und Technik" der Hochschulen

universities in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Halle-Wittenberg, 4/03), 2003. 43, 3 S.
Inhalt: "Das Kompetenzzentrum 'Frauen für Naturwissenschaft und Technik' der Hochschulen Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns
wird im Rahmen des Hochschul-Wissenschaftsprogramms (HWP) als Maßnahme zur Erhöhung
des Frauenanteils in naturwissenschaftlichen und technischen Studiengängen gefördert.
Die konzeptuelle Grundlage für die Arbeit des Kompetenzzentrums bietet der Gender-Mainstreaming-Ansatz,
der mittlerweile auch im Landeshochschulgesetz MecklenburgVorpommern verankert wurde.
HoF Wittenberg - Institut für Hochschulforschung e.V. wurde mit der Evaluation der
ersten Projektphase 2001 bis 2003 beauftragt. Mit Dokumentenanalysen, Experteninterviews
und dem Vergleich mit anderen Projekten wurde die bisherige Arbeit des Kompetenzzentrums
systematisiert und eingeschätzt. Dabei erwies sich das alleinige Ziel einer Erhöhung
des Frauenanteils als zu eng gefasst, um die in weiteren Bereichen erfolgreich geleistete
Arbeit des Kompetenzzentrums, etwa die hochschulinterne Sensibilisierung für geschlechtstypische
Problemlagen, anerkennen zu können. Abschließend wurden künftige Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten
anhand der Szenario-Technik entwickelt, die u.a. mögliche Aufgabenprofilierungen aufzeigen."

Inhalt: "The Centre of Excellence "Women for Natural Sciences and Technology' at the universities
of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is funded by the Higher Education Science Program (HWP)
with the goal of increasing the ratio of women in natural sciences and technology
study programs. Its conceptual basis is drawn from the Gender Mainstreaming approach
that has now been implemented into the Higher Education Law of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The evaluation of the first project phase from 2001 to 2003 was assigned to HoF Wittenberg
- Institute of Higher Education Research. The performance of the Centre of Excellence
was systematized and estimated with document analyses, expert interviews, and the
comparison with other projects. One result was that the sole aim to increase the ratio
of women was too narrowly defined in order to account for successful work in other
areas, for instance the sensitization of higher education personnel for gender typical
problems. Finally, possible future developments were presented with the application
of the scenario method, among others a possible task profile for the Centre of Excellence."
