Made by men for men? Transforming academia for the benefit of more people
Policy event.
150 years ago, women were admitted to university study in Denmark. In this policy event we will reflect on the progress made and the future challenges to gender equality at Danish universities. Both prominent experts and politicians will take part in panel debates.
The event concludes a two-day conference, “A Matter of Justice. Women’s Access to Higher Education in Denmark and in the International Context – Past, Present, and Future.” Read more about the conference.
The first part of the event will be in English, and the second part will be in Danish.
