Although European policy initiatives to advance the position of women in
Academia (and especially in science) have proliferated, both at national and
EU levels, serious inequities of many kinds remain. This situation is exposed
and investigated in this outstanding book, which presents reports and
discussions from a two-day conference held at the Law Faculty of Lund
University in December 2004. The participants and#8211; law professors and social
scientists and#8211; present detailed reports on domestic experiences and regulations
in eight European countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the
Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Among the many provocative issues raised and explored are the following:
and#8226; and#8220;positive actionand#8221; in theory and practice
and#8226; the progress of the EU Commission's strategy to integrate equal opportunity
into all Community policies and activities
and#8226; the motives for promoting women in Academia
and#8226; the importance not only of setting targets but of funding to achieve them
and#8226; the extensive group of part-timers and fixed-term employees at the margin of
the traditional academic career
and#8226; the importance of creating a situation in Academia where and#8220;woman excellenceand#8221;
shows
and#8226; the development of and#8220;marketableand#8221; research disciplines embodied in private
research institutes
With its penetrating analysis of its subjectand#8211; women in Academia in Europeand#8211; and
its many keen insights into the possibilities within Community equality law to
move forward quickly and effectively toward equity in academic positions for
women and men, Women in Academia and Equality Law will be read avidly and put
to use by committed lawyers, academics, and policymakers throughout the EU
countries.
