Breaking the Glass Ceiling: Gender in Science and Philosophy
TINT – Centre for Philosophy of Social Science, The Philosophical Society of Finland (SFY) and The Association for Women and Feminist Philosophers in Finland (NFY) present
Breaking the glass-ceiling: Gender in science and philosophy.
Over the last couple of decades the gender gap in academia has significantly narrowed, yet the pace at which progress is taking place is surprisingly slow. In philosophy, for example, it’s still very much the case that while the proportions men and women are roughly equal among undergraduate philosophy students, the number of men increases disproportionately at the faculty level. Finnish academic philosophy is no exception. What causes this gap to persist? Why do some fields fare better than others? Which measures can we take to fill the gap? During this event we bring together national and international experts to address these and related questions with a particular focus on the Finnish context.
The event will be held in Helsinki at Metsätalo, sali 1 / hall 1.
Entrance via Unioninkatu 40 or Fabianinkatu 39.
