The Nordic region - a step closer to gender balance in research? Joint Nordic strategies and measures to promote gender balance among researchers in academia
Nearly 80 per cent of all professors in the Nordic region are men. Gender balance in academia is therefore an important research policy issue. Hitherto it has been scarcely debated on a joint Nordic level. This report shows the status and the development in the field. The report gives examples of successful practices and highlights research policy challenges that are important to analyse in a gender and equality perspective. Given the lack of comparative investigations and research on the gender balance in academia in the Nordic region, there is a need to develop Nordic cooperation in this field. The report concludes with a number of recommendations in order to consolidate the issue of gender balance in academia as a joint policy- and research field in the Nordic region.
The Nordic Region - a Step Closer to Gender Balance in Research?
Abstract: Nearly 80 per cent of all professors in the Nordic region are men. Gender balance in academia is therefore an important research policy issue. Hitherto it has been scarcely debated on a joint Nordic level. This report shows the status and the development in the field. The report gives examples of successful practices and highlights research policy challenges that are important to analyse in a gender and equality perspective. Given the lack of comparative investigations and research on the gender balance in academia in the Nordic region, there is a need to develop Nordic cooperation in this field. The report concludes with a number of recommendations in order to consolidate the issue of gender balance in academia as a joint policy- and research field in the Nordic region
Challenging Situatedness
Challenging Situatedness contends that the production of knowledge is just that--a production, and one fraught with intrinsic and often unconscious biases. In fact, to assume that scientific research is inherently objective, neutral, and therefore genderless can, quite literally, be harmful to one's health. The contributors to this volume instead argue for a situated knowledge, a research model that acknowledges different cultural realities and actively articulates context-rich ways of knowing. Drawing on international research studies--from Cameroon, Ghana, India, and Sweden, among others--Challenging Situatedness is a vital exploration of feminist theory in practice.
Translocal Connections of Bioinsecurity
Avian influenza is considered a "global threat" and a biosecurity issue. How did that come to be? How did the avian influenza threat change as the virus spread? This book offers detailed, empirical accounts of avian influenza as the virus-and the knowledge about it -spread beyond Asia, from 2005 onwards. It also offers insights into how the concept of biosecurity has emerged in relation to recent disease outbreaks. Based on multi-sited fieldwork in Turkey and textual analyses, Translocal Connections of Bioinsecurity contributes to new ways of understanding text and field, the global and the local, and the secure and the insecure, as relational rather than opposed or unconnected, as enacted rather than pre-given.

Gender Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Academia
Institutional focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion affects all parts of higher education management. Gender Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Academia: A Conceptual Framework for Sustainable Transformation scrutinises the conceptual framework for diversity, equity, and inclusion actions in academia to facilitate research-based and critically reflected decisions in higher education management. The book contains 24 chapters, each focused on one of 24 fundamental concepts that are essential for identifying, understanding, and implementing organizational changes and counteracting unjustified disadvantages faced by women and members of other gender minorities in academia, preceded by an in...

Marginalization Processes across Different Settings
While issues of marginalization and participation have engaged scholars across various disciplines and domains, and a range of theoretical perspectives and methodological framings have been deployed in this enterprise, the research presented in this volume aligns itself to alternative traditions by focusing on people’s membership and participation across settings and institutional contexts. The work here, thus, focuses on the constitution of marginalization inside, outside and across a range of settings. It centre-stages marginalization and participation as action in the human world. Going beyond a focus on the marginalized or explanations of marginalization or comparing groups of the marg...
Gender, Religion, and Diversity
Gender, Religion and Diversity provides an introduction to some of the most challenging perspectives in the contemporary study of gender and religion. In recent years, gender and women's studies have transformed the international study of religion through their use of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural methodologies, which have opened up new and highly controversial issues, challenging previous paradigms and creating fresh fields of study. As this book shows, gender studies in religion raises new and difficult questions about the gendered nature of religious phenomena, the relationship between power and knowledge, the authority of religious texts and institutions, and the involvement and r...
Eksemplets makt
Eksempler spiller en viktig rolle i alle typer fremstillinger. Gjennom eksemplet konkretiserer vi noe abstrakt, eller det partikulære forbindes med det allmenne. Det kan tjene som illustrasjon eller som forbilde. Selv de tidlige antikke filosofene var bevisst eksemplets makt. I denne boken blir eksemplets komplekse retoriske funksjon gransket. Tekstene tar særlig opp spørsmålet om hvilken innvirkning kjønn har på eksemplets status: Hva har kjønn å si for evnen til å være eksemplarisk? Slik knytter antologien an til sentrale spørsmål innen kjønnsforskning: Kan en kvinne være eksempel på noe allmennmenneskelig, eller er hun kun et eksempel for sitt kjønn? Antologien formidler ny, tverrfaglig forskning på betydningen av kjønnsforestillinger og eksempelbruk. Tekstene spenner over religiøse, sosialhistoriske, politiske, filosofiske, medisinske og populærkulturelle emner, fra antikken til i dag.
Har videnskaben køn?
I 1875 fik den første kvinde lov til at studere ved Københavns Universitet, efter at mænd i næsten 400 år havde haft eneret. Men det betød ingenlunde, at kvinderne derefter fik frie tøjler til at uddanne sig – og endnu mindre til at gøre karriere inden for akademia. I løbet af de seneste 40 år er uddannelsessystemet imidlertid undergået en markant forandring. Antallet af kvinder, der tager en højere uddannelse, er øget markant – og er sågar højere end antallet af mænd – men i toppen af uddannelsessystemet har kvinderne stadig trange kår. Som en kønshistorisk introduktion forholder Har videnskaben køn? sig til såvel denne udvikling som til de lærde foregangskvinder ...
