“…This brought to wider attention studies that examine some of the subtleties of the ways in which gender can play a role in the academy, for example, in the recruitment of academic staff (Thoraldsdottir 2004) and in processes of gatekeeping (Husu 2004). More recently, Sagebiel has argued for more training in gender awareness in order to overcome the indirect discrimination that results from gendered organizational cultures and networks (Sagebiel 2010). Enhancing the understanding of the role of gender in the allocation of opportunities to become researchers and do research is vitally important; it entails challenging the 'neutrality' of the status quo.…”

Academics sign up to the concept of promoting excellence in research by valuing 'objectivity', independence, theoretical frameworks and an evidence base, even while we might argue about meanings of these concepts and how they should be operationalized. We share a commitment to peer review, even though some may have concerns about invisible biases which may be built into some of the mechanisms we employ to conduct it. So, how do we explain the extraordinarily robust and sustained role that gender continues to play in organizing the academy? Moreover, how do we understand the neglect of the gender dimension in so much research? This paper considers the ways in which gender cuts across the allocation of academic opportunities. It raises questions about the implications of the gendering of the academy on who decides who and what is 'excellent'. It then outlines concerns about the neglect of the gender dimension in research processes. It concludes with recommendations on how to address the gender imbalance in the academy and enhance the attention to gender in research.

“…18 interviews were conducted; these were developed for the 'Motivation Project', a European project that aimed to chart the factors of importance in students' choice of exact sciences (Sagebiel et al, 2009). The student participants were also aged between 14 and 16 years and followed secondary education in various places in the Netherlands.…”

The options women have to shape their lives have dramatically increased in the last decades, and this is true for all European countries. Changes in their societies with respect to women’s rights have been fundamental, amongst other things as a result of the women’s movement, which caused one of the greatest social revolutions of the 20th century. But considering the different starting points of the women’s movement and all the other historical, cultural and political differences in the European nations it is no surprise that the situation of women is different, too, and that the process of reaching equal status with men has come to different stages in different areas of life. And, of course, there are still some fields of remarkable gender inequalities which can be noticed all over Europe. This book wants to give some insight into the differences as well as the similarities of women’s lives, their educational and occupational attainment and their choices with respect to occupational career and family life in several European countries. The authors come from different countries and represent different disciplines. Therefore the chapters cover a large variety of scientific approaches and draw a fine-grained picture of the situation of women´s lives in Europe.
