  • Appendix 2 - Scandinavian Approaches to Gender Equality in Academia: a Comparative Study
    1 Appendix 2 - Scandinavian approaches to gender equality in academia: A comparative study This document summarises the national legislative frameworks and policy initiatives, which I refer to in the article Scandinavian approaches to gender equality in academia: A comparative study. Additionally it offers a brief introduction to each of the six universities’ strategies for governing and promoting issues of gender equality as well as the related organisational interventions. 1. Scandinavian legislations and policies on Gender Equality in academia Denmark In the Danish Gender Equality Act (2000), the mainstreaming obligations of public organisations are stipulated as follows: “Public authorities shall within their respective areas of responsibility seek to promote gender equality and incorporate gender equality in all planning and administration” (part 4). The implementation strategy of this provision, however, is unclear, and there are no binding sanctions if public organisations fail to fulfil their responsibilities (Borchorst 2008, 12; Emerek & Jørgensen 2011, 25). One of the initiatives already implemented is a measuring tool obligating state institutions and state-owned undertakings with more than 50 employees to report their status on gender equality every second year. This obligation was facilitated to collect information on institutional gender equality initiatives and monitor gender distributions across job categories (Danish Gender Equality Act 2000, Part 5.1). Aside from this, a statutory instrument introduces a legal opportunity for employers, authorities and organisations to: …take experimental- and development initiatives for a period of up to 2 years to attract the under-represented sex. It is lawful to establish courses or training activities of up to 6 months duration if the aim is to promote gender equality in employment, training and management.

  • Mapping Environmental Humanities Education in the Nordic Countries
    MAPPING ENVIRONMENTAL HUMANITIES EDUCATION IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES Bringing Research in Green Humanities into Teaching (BRIGHT) network A network of 1 2 Why this report? The Environmental Humanities, an interdisciplinary field of scholarly inquiry which examines the junction of humans and nature through humanistic research approaches, has emerged as a major element in environmental-themed research in the Nordic Countries. Environmental Humanities (EnvHum) encompasses work done in environmental history, ecocriticism, environmental literature studies, posthuman studies, animal studies, environmental philosophy, and more. These are joined together in their common quest to understand the relationship between humans and the non-human world and the shaping of that relationship by culture, action, and thought. Our age is facing imminent environmental threats, including global climate change, escalating biodiversity loss, rapid natural resource extraction, and unjust distribution of environmental damage and pollution. EnvHum asks how we understand what it means to be human in these challenging times as well as how humanities can contribute to our understanding of the challenges. The Bringing Research in Green Humanities into Teaching (BRIGHT) network was established to build capacity in EnvHum humanities in the Nordic and Baltic countries by collaboratively exploring methods of integrating Environmental Humanities research into first (Bachelors) and second (Masters) level university teaching and building new cooperative regional teaching programs in environmental. BRIGHT was founded in 2018 as a Nordplus-funded network coordinated by Professor Dolly Jørgensen, University of Stavanger. Because environmental issues are a priority contemporary concern, we need green humanities research to be coupled to teaching. The network will create synergies and connections between the dispersed environmental humanities groups across the region and strengthen the integration of environmental humanities research into Nordic education.
