Sommersemester 2024/25
Globalization of Science: A Gender Perspective [30220]
Course Description
Globalization of science has increased international collaboration and mobility, while also reconfiguring inequalities within academia. We ask from an intersectional gender perspective: what does internationalization of science mean for gender & diversity in science? For example, despite some progress toward gender equity, women remain underrepresented in international collaboration & mobility. This seminar explores social science theories to explain the underrepresentation of women in academic leadership positions and among scientists, particularly in STEM fields, in the context of global reconfigurations. Finally, we will explore policy instruments that seek to challenge gendered power in science and academia.
Colloquium [30228]
Course Description
This research colloquium and thesis course explores theoretical and methodological issues in social scientific gender research. Participants will present and provide feedback to others on ongoing research projects, MA-thesis, dissertations, and guest lectures.
