Inhalt: Written in an accessible style with comprehensive coverage, the Handbook of Gender and Technology provides an excellent foundation examining gender equity in technology fields. Covering the state of the art, chapters consider three key influences – environmental, identity and individual – to highlight interventions to address the gender gap in technology.
Inhalt: The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online. The under-representation of women in research and innovation has been documented as a global phenomenon and is particularly heightened on decision-making boards and in leadership positions. Presenting a reflexive approach to gender equality for research organisations developed within the TARGET project, funded by the European Commission, the authors describe the experiences of the project's implementation in seven Gender Equality Innovating Institutions in the Mediterranean basin - including research performing organisations, research funding organisations and a network of universities. The TARGET approach goes beyond the formal adoption of a gender equality policy by emphasising an iterative and reflexive process towards equality at the institutional level as well as the establishment of a community of practice for gender equality within the institution. The approach is based on the assumption that actual change is the result of increased institutional willingness and capacity to identify, reflect on and address gender bias in a sustained way. Starting point and anchor of the process is a tailored gender equality plan for each institution. A specific characteristic of TARGET is the fact that implementing institutions are located in countries which have been characterised as relatively 'inactive' in developing gender equality policies in science and research. Therefore, internal and external communication about the relevance of gender equality in science and research forms an important element of a reflexive gender equality policy in contexts which are characterised by resistances, anti-genderism and traditional gender roles. This book will therefore be essential reading for higher education leaders and managers, and staff at all levels committed to achieving gender equity in higher education. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

The gender-sensitive university : A contradiction in terms?

Inhalt: "The Gender-Sensitive University explores the prevailing forces that pose obstacles to driving a gender-sensitive university, which include the emergence of far-right movements that seek to subvert advances towards gender equality and managerialism that promotes creeping corporatism. This book demonstrates that awareness of gender equality and gender sensitivity are essential for pulling contemporary academia back from the brink. New forms of leadership are fundamental to reforming our institutions. The concept of a gender-sensitive university requires re-envisioning academia to meet these challenges, as does a different engagement of men and a shift towards fluidity in how gender is formulated and performed. Academia can only be truly gender-sensitive if, learning from the past, it can avoid repeating the same mistakes and addressing existing and new biases. The book chapters analyse these challenges and advocate the possibilities to 'fix it forward' in all areas. Representing ten EU countries and multiple disciplines, contributors to this volume highlight the evidence of persistent gender inequalities in academia, while advocating a blueprint for addressing them. The book will be of interest to a global readership of students, academics, researchers, practitioners, academic and political leaders and policy makers who share an interest in what it takes to establish gender-sensitive universities"--

Strategies for Resisting Sexism in the Academy : Higher Education, Gender and Intersectionality
Herausgeber/in:
Crimmins, Gail
Quelle: Cham: Springer International Publishing (Palgrave studies in gender and education), 2019. 2 S
Inhalt: This book harnesses the expertise of women academics who have constructed innovative approaches to challenging existing sexual disadvantage in the academy. Countering the prevailing postfeminist discourse, the contributors to this volume argue that sexism needs to be named in order to be challenged and resisted. Exploring a complex, intersectional and diverse arrangement of resistance strategies, the contributors outline useful tools to resist, subvert and identify sexist policy and practice that can be deployed by organisations and collectives as well as individuals. The volume explores pedagogical, curriculum and research approaches as well as case studies which expose, satirise and subvert sexism in the academy: instead, embodied and slow scholarship as political tools of resistance are introduced. A call for action against the propagation of sexism and gender disadvantage in the academy, this important book will appeal to students and scholars of sexism in higher education as well as all those committed to working towards gender e/quality. Gail Crimmins is Researcher at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Her research explores gender inequity in the academy and feminist, narrative and arts informed approaches to research.

Inhalt: The literature on gender and science shows that scientific careers continue to be characterised – albeit with important differences among countries – by strong gender discriminations, especially in more prestigious positions. Much less investigated is the issue of which stage in the career such differences begin to show up.
Gender and Precarious Research Careers aims to advance the debate on the process of precarisation in higher education and its gendered effects, and springs from a three-year research project across institutions in seven European countries: Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Iceland, Switzerland, Slovenia and Austria. Examining gender asymmetries in academic and research organisations, this insightful volume focuses particularly on early careers. It centres both on STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and SSH (Social Science and Humanities) fields.
Offering recommendations to design innovative organisational policies and self-tailored ‘Gender Equality Plans’ to be implemented in universities and research centres, this volume will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as Gender Studies, Sociology of Work and Industry, Sociology of Knowledge, Business Studies and Higher Education.
Geschlecht als widersprüchliche Institution : Neoinstitutionalistische Implikationen zum Gender-Cage in Organisationen
Herausgeber/in:
Amstutz, Nathalie; Eberherr, Helga; Funder, Maria
Quelle: Baden-Baden: Nomos (Arbeit, Organisation und Geschlecht in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, 7), 2018. 300 Seiten
Inhalt: Mit der Transformation von Industriegesellschaften sind auch die Geschlechterverhältnisse in Bewegung geraten. Organisationen stehen daher zunehmend unter Druck, Fortschritte in Sachen Gleichstellung zu erzielen. Es stellt sich also die Frage, ob und inwieweit sie weiterhin Orte der (Re-)Produktion traditioneller Geschlechternormen und -strukturen bleiben oder zur Transformation des „Gender Cage“ beitragen.
Das Buch bietet aktuelle Forschungsbefunde und neo-institutionalistische Erklärungsansätze zur Re- und Neukonfiguration von Geschlechterdifferenzierungen in Organisationen. Im ersten Teil werden neo-institutionalistische Kernkonzepte (u.a. Institution, Feld, Isomorphie, Entkopplung) aus einer Geschlechterperspektive näher bestimmt. Der zweite Teil konzentriert sich auf den Um-gang mit gesellschaftlichen Gleichstellungserwartungen in For- und Non-Profit-Organisationen und zeigt paradoxe Entwicklungen auf. Der Band liefert neue Erkenntnisse zur Widersprüchlichkeit der Institution Geschlecht.
Gender in Focus : Identities, Codes, Stereotypes and Politics
Herausgeber/in:
Zamfira, Andreea; Montlibert, Christian de; Radu, Daniela
Quelle: Verlag Barbara Budrich, 2018.
Inhalt: This book deals with the interplay between identities, codes, stereotypes and politics governing the various constructions and deconstructions of gender in several Western and non-Western societies (Germany, Italy, Serbia, Romania, Cameroon, Indonesia, Vietnam, and others). Readers are invited to discover the realm of gender studies and to reflect upon the transformative potentialities of globalisation and interculturality.
Inhalt: Der vorliegende Band nimmt Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Gleichstellungspolitiken, strukturellen Diskriminierungsformen und prekären Arbeitsverhältnissen in der neoliberalen Hochschule in den Blick.
Die Arbeits- und Lebenssituation von Wissenschaftler_innen hat sich in den vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnten tief greifend verändert. Die fortschreitende Ökonomisierung von Hochschulen und anderen Wissenschaftsorganisationen hat zu einer Zuspitzung von Wettbewerb und Konkurrenz geführt, die sich auch auf die Arbeits- und Wissenschaftskultur auswirkt. Insbesondere der akademische Mittelbau ist von einer verschärften Prekarisierung wissenschaftlicher Arbeitsverhältnisse und Laufbahnen betroffen. Zeitgleich lässt sich eine verstärkte Institutionalisierung von Gleichstellungs- und Diversitypolitiken in der Wissenschaft beobachten. Doch während an den hiesigen Universitäten heute mehr Frauen als je zuvor studieren, promovieren und wissenschaftliche Laufbahnen einschlagen, wirken strukturelle gruppenbezogene Benachteiligungen und Diskriminierungsformen fort. Die Ökonomisierung und Prekarisierung wissenschaftlicher Arbeit sowie die Thematisierung von Geschlechterungleichheit, institutionellem Rassismus und sozialer Selektivität in der Wissenschaft haben in den vergangenen Jahren als Einzelphänomene Aufmerksamkeit erfahren, wurden bislang jedoch nur selten systematisch in Bezug zueinander untersucht.

Inhalt: Dieser Band schließt eine wichtige Lücke in den politischen und wissenschaftlichen Debatten um Gleichstellung, indem die zahlreichen Herausforderungen, die die Entwicklung und Bewertung von Indikatoren für Gleichstellung mit sich bringen, umfassend dargestellt und diskutiert werden. Auf dieser Basis werden allgemeine Kriterien für die Entwicklung von Gender- und Gleichstellungsindikatoren formuliert. Neben den methodischen und gendertheoretischen Fragen, die hierbei berücksichtigt werden müssen, wird auch auf die Rolle von Gender- und Gleichstellungsindikatoren im Rahmen politischer Prozesse eingegangen.
