The workshop intends to analyse the actual situation of gender discrimination and to evaluate academic quality within European universities and polytechnics.
Therefore, the workshop would render the actual situation of women in academia visible and, as a result, facilitate their institutional participation.
As female scholars are often interested in subjects which are not considered to be core issues in the field of communication and media studies, we will ask female scholars to reflect about how their research interests are connected to the so-called ‘mainstream studies’. We will also welcome papers on gender equality and career opportunities, difficulties and challenges.
