To mark International Women’s Day, the UFB hosted a joint lunch for a critical and constructive dialogue. A diverse group of people from academia, administration, and the student body came together and exchanged ideas about equality in general—and in academia in particular—across all generations.
One thing was clear: there is still much to be done. Despite past achievements and formal gender equality, the glass ceiling, the reproduction of gender stereotypes, and other injustices remain a reality for many people who identify as female or have been socialized as such in the academic field.
What we at the UFB are focussing on as a result: training opportunities, raising awareness, and creating spaces for interaction and exchange.
Thank you for the exchange!
