Issues of Equality, Bias, and Gender Stereotypes in Higher Education and Research

Raising Awareness on Gender Inequalities in Higher Education and Research

At our ISTerre, we are committed to reflecting on and acting against gender inequalities in higher education and research. To this end, we regularly organize awareness sessions and training.

The next seminar, led by Anna-Livia Morand, a trainer specializing in gender issues, invites all staff and doctoral students to explore how biases and stereotypes impact careers and to identify concrete actions to reduce them in daily practice.

What we do during this seminar :

  • Presentation of quantitative data on equality in higher education and research, at the lab, in France, and internationally
  • Analysis of mechanisms that promote and maintain biases
  • Sharing practical solutions to act within our daily environment

Program :

1:30 PM – 3:15 PM : Seminar in Kilian Amphitheater, in French

3:15 PM – 3:45 PM : Discussion time and shared snack

3:45 PM – 5:00 PM : Small group workshops, meeting in Kilian Amphitheater

The second part will be a collaborative workshop, where participants, in small groups, will analyze case studies, identify sexist mechanisms, and collectively propose improvement strategies.
