SUMMARY:Gender Equality\, Inclusion and Well-being in Higher Education: Rethinking Institutional Cultures in Times of Change
DESCRIPTION:Content\nThis session explores gender equality\, inclusion\, and well-being in higher education\, examining structural gaps alongside with intersectional dynamics of identity and exclusion. It considers how emerging challenges—digitalisation\, AI\, academic precarity\, and mental health—are reshaping gender equality in academic institutions. Through evidence-based discussion and case examples\, participants critically assess institutional policies (sucha as Gender Equality Plans) and everyday practices\, concluding with an action-planning exercise to identify concrete steps toward more gender inclusive\, and equitable academic communities. \nGeneral Objectives\n\nUnderstand gender equality as a foundation for inclusion and well-being in contemporary higher education.\nAnalyse how institutional policies\, academic cultures\, and everyday practices shape gender equity\, belonging\, and well-being.\nRecognise the impact of emerging challenges (digitalisation\, AI\, transformation of academic work\, growing diversity\, mental health) on gender equality and inclusion.\nIdentify practical strategies for advancing gender equality and fostering more inclusive\, equitable\, and healthy academic communities.\n\nLearning Outcomes\nBy the end of the session\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain key concepts: gender equality\, gender bias\, intersectionality\, belonging\, and well-being.\nIdentify institutional practices (e.g.\, recruitment\, promotion\, evaluation\, leadership representation) that support or hinder gender equality.\nRecognise the implications of emerging challenges for gender equality in higher education communities.\nPropose concrete actions to advance gender equality and build inclusive\, and healthy academic environments.
