Challenges and Opportunities for Female Scientists
In this lunch talk, we will explore the concept of doing visibility in the context of academia. Scientists` visibility can play a crucial role in shaping a researcher’s recognition, career development, and access to opportunities, which can be especially important during the postdoctoral period.
Drawing on insights from the Prof:inSicht project, funded by the BMFTR, the talk will highlight how conditions and prerequisites for visibility can differ by gender and other intersecting factors. The focus will be on gender-specific challenges. At the same time, the topic of visibility is not limited to individual action. It concerns the broader academic community. We therefore warmly welcome participants of all gender identities to join the discussion.
The aim is to gain a broader understanding of visibility and its underlying mechanisms. The session will include both research findings and theoretical background on visibility.
