Melanie Bittner
Leaky pipeline, glass ceiling, rush hour of life, work-life-balance, …
There are many concepts and metaphors to explain the lasting under-representation of women as university professors. Beyond numbers, women – especially women of color, first generation academics and women with disabilities – experience numerous challenges when following their career path in academia. The presentation will help you understand the interrelationship between gender and power structures at universities today.
What are the structural causes for the under-representation of women?
How neutral and objective is academia when it comes to hiring and promotions?
What can universities do to sustainably promote gender equality and diversity?

11:45 Prof. Dr. Heather Hofmeister
“So, you want to have a life AND work in academia? Let’s talk!”
Why do (especially German) academic careers seem to insist on “either-or” tradeoffs among life domains? And what can we do about it? We’ll look at how our inherited academic culture of long hours and exclusive devotion to science developed, how it’s being re-designed, what stands in the way of the processes of change, and what we can do individually and collectively to move our careers in directions that serve our lives instead of our lives existing to serve our careers.

Why you need a network – and how it makes you happy and successful
Having a diversified network is a key factor for success in academia, as various studies show. Due to different barriers to career opportunities, it is even more important to female scientists to actively and continuously engage in networking. However, networking is sometimes considered ambivalent and difficult to manage – especially by women: some feel conflicted about instrumental networking, even while recognizing the importance of being well-connected.
Which (gendered) beliefs, systematic boundaries or structural conditions could hold women back from searching for new ties, maintaining existing ties and increase thereby their social ressources? In this talk, we have an evidence-based and interactive look at this question and analyze where potential points of shifting these beliefs and boundaries are. Furthermore, we discuss strategies and forms of networking to develop our social and professional networks in size, diversity and cohesiveness – for our own – and other women’s – happiness, empowerment and success.
