Inhalt: The playbook consists of guidance, good practices and interactive visual boards. Community managers with sponsors, core groups and members can work together on these boards by following the step-by-step guidance and questions posed in this playbook. It covers eight success facets that allow you to develop, engage and empower your community at every stage of its journey. The playbook provides you with the tools and processes to create your community roadmap. These tools and processes are based on in-depth and interactive explorations of eight community success facets: 1. vision – what is your community raison d’être, what are the goals it aspires to achieve and what are the corresponding SMART objectives? 2. governance – how do you work together, and with whom and how do you take decisions? 3. leadership – how will you ensure strong leadership participation by both sponsors and core groups? 4. convening–what kind of convening opportunities work for your community? 5. collaboration and cooperation–how do you co-create and coordinate different cooperation and collaboration processes to deliver concrete community knowledge assets/artefacts? 6. community management–how do you facilitate dynamic, hybrid and (a) synchronous community interactions? 7. user experience–how do you ensure a member-centric community experience while delivering on the tasks set and supporting members’ needs? 8. measurement–how do you understand and measure community vitality and what can you learn from it?

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.

Inhalt: ›Krisen‹-Diskurse mit gesellschaftsspaltendem Potential? Hinter dem aktuellen Antifeminismus steht eine kleine, aber intensiv vernetzte Gruppe von Akteur*innen, die strategisch um Deutungshoheit kämpft. Ihr Einfluss jenseits des rechten und christlich-fundamentalistischen Spektrums ist jedoch gering – und Gegenmobilisierungen durchaus erfolgreich. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes legen erstmals vergleichende Analysen zum Antifeminismus in Deutschland vor. Untersucht werden dabei Mediendiskurse, Antifeminismus in der Wissenschaft, Mobilisierungen gegen die Reform sexueller Bildung an Schulen, rechte Kritiken an der »Ehe für alle«, Vorstellungen von Mutterschaft sowie Effekte der Projektion von Sexismus auf zugewanderte Muslime in Integrationskursen für Geflüchtete.

Inhalt: Organizational gender equality policies must address critical issues in organizations, as well as challenge hierarchies and the unequal distribution of power and resources. At the same time, they are reliant on acceptance by organizations when developing an official course of action. On the basis of a neo‐institutional perspective, this study investigates how gender equality discourses are disciplined so that they fit organizational expectations by maintaining the rationality myth of the organization. The empirical analysis of four Swiss organizations demonstrates that, although they intend to reduce gender inequalities, their gender equality policies are shaped by a logic of appropriateness that leads to a continuous reproduction of heteronormativity within gender equality policies. This study thus contributes to the understanding of how the logic of appropriateness protects the heteronormative matrix in organizations by disciplining gender equality discourses.

Inhalt: #MeToo. Digital networking. Facebook groups. Social media continues to be positioned by social movement scholars as an exciting new tool that has propelled feminism into a dynamic fourth wave of the movement. But how does male power play out on social media, and what is the political significance of women using male-controlled and algorithmically curated platforms for feminism? To answer these questions, Megarry foregrounds an analysis of the practices and ethics of the historical Women’s Liberation Movement (WLM), including the revolutionary characteristics of face-to-face organising and the development of an autonomous print culture. Centering discussions of time, space and surveillance, she utilises radical and lesbian feminist theory to expose the contradictions between the political project of women’s liberation and the dominant celebratory narratives of Web 2.0. This is the first book to seriously consider how social media perpetuates the enduring logic of patriarchy and howdigital activism shapes women’s oppression in the 21st century. Drawing on interviews with intergenerational feminist activists from the UK, the USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, as well as archival and digital activist materials, Megarry boldly concludes that feminists should abandon social media and return to the transformative powers of older forms of women-centred political praxis. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Women’s and Gender Studies, Lesbian and Queer Studies, Social Movement Studies, Critical Internet Studies and Political Communication, as well as anyone with an interest in feminist activism and the history of the WLM.

Inhalt: This article extends examinations of the gendered nature of care and service in academia, with a particular focus on the labour of maintaining conference communities. Utilising empirical data from a cultural history of the International Academic Identities Conference, we draw on interviews with 32 conference organisers, keynote speakers and participants to explore the gendered dynamics of reproducing conference communities. While some participants experienced exclusions, most participants described a conference that felt caring, welcoming and like ‘home’. Following this discussion, we interrogate the idea of the conference as ‘home’, asking questions about the gendered division of ‘academic housekeeping’ practices that underpin such home-making. Engaging with feminist theorising of emotional labour, we argue that academic women undertook significant, and often hidden, care and service labour to maintain a homely conference community.

Inhalt: Research grant funding influences the organisation of academic work and academic careers. We problematise general approaches to gender bias in research grant funding and argue that it fails to include the wider structures of inequality and the unequal gendered power relations in academia. Approaching the subject with gender budgeting we challenge assumed gender-neutral practices. The objective is to illuminate how the gendered funding system and (the previous and subsequent) gendered structures of academia are maintained. The whole grants scheme is assessed, drawing on statistical data collected on the whole population of a medium-size, comprehensive research and educational institution in Iceland, and two types of competitive grants. The data is measured against the pool of applicants and comparisons within and between fields and ranks are made. By including the structures of inequality and the gendered power relations, the results show how the funding system is biased not only in favour of men, but towards the male-dominated and culturally masculine positions and fields. This approach illustrates the need to address the whole academic system in order to challenge the norms that maintain and reproduce gender inequalities.

Inhalt: Conferences are key sites for the development of academic careers; however multiple studies have shown that conferences are exclusionary on the basis of gender and other axes of social disadvantage. This study focuses on India and as such also incorporates caste as an axis of privilege and disadvantage in relation to access to conferences. Conferences in this paper are framed within a broader professional development agenda, which is the way in which conferences are located in Indian higher education policy discourses, and a social exclusion perspective is taken as the analytical lens. The paper is based on data from a large-scale national study of social inequalities in higher education, which included quantitative analysis of administrative records and qualitative analysis of interviews with academics on their participation in conferences and professional development activities. Key findings include that participation in conferences is proportionally lower for women and scheduled caste academics than for men and upper-caste academics, and that access to conferences is embroiled in relational processes of social exclusion which operate in the academy, despite formal policies being in place. The article recommends further scrutiny of policy implementation and replication of this analysis across different country contexts.

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."

Inhalt: The phenomenon of scientific mobility, actively developing in recent decades, attracts increasing attention of researchers in view of its importance for the development of science, dissemination of scientific knowledge, making informed decisions in the management of science and training of qualified personnel. Based on an extensive analysis of the literature on the topic in the last 30 years with the use of bibliometric approaches, this paper outlines the main evolutionary stages of scientific mobility in the context of brain drain and circulation concepts; considers relations, advantages and disadvantages of scientific mobility in relation to scientific inbreeding; describes the main approaches and methodological aspects formed today in the study of the scientists mobility; discusses its positive and negative consequences for researchers, organizations, countries, and individual disciplines, and summarizes the motivations and driving forces of scientists when leaving the country and when returning.
