While universities can be powerful institutions for promoting gender equality, diversity and inclusion in the higher education context and in society at large, they remain both gendered and gendering organizations. This Special Issue gathers a host of approaches that address, from a critical standpoint, the mechanisms that underpin the (re)producti...

This paper employs the concept of epistemic justice to examine the potential for gender equality plans (GEPs) to bring about sustainable transformative change towards gender equality in higher education. Mindful of both the limitations and opportunities of gender policy interventions, the paper highlights the importance of approaching gender inequa...

This article explores research on gender and institutions for the purposes of informing analytical frameworks for research on institutional change with regard to gender equality in higher education. Drawing on feminist institutionalist studies that explore the relationship between gender, institutions and institutional continuity and change, the ai...

This paper explores the measures taken to advance gender equality in six HE institutions in Europe. Its central question is if the gender equality plans that proliferate in top-flight European universities offer the prospect of gender justice, expressed as epistemic justice, in academia.

Originally starting in the 1950s with a membership of only six countries (Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg), the European Union (EU) has substantially enlarged its membership in each decade since the 1970s to 27 members today — with the likelihood of more to come in the next decade. The process of enlargement began wi...

The gendered nature of democratic decision-making in the EU is the focus of this paper. It outlines a theoretical model of democracy that looks at public decision-making processes through a gender lens: gender democracy. It then takes two instances of democratic decision-making in the European Union relevant to gender equality: the Goods and Servic...

The existence of a European gender order is intrinsically connected with the creation and development of the European Union. The construction of this order – a combination of values, laws and practices seeking to give effect to gender equality – is contested at both supranational and nation-state levels. This article takes Ostner and Lewis' ‘two ne...

Research on women's political representation in postsocialist Europe has highlighted the role of cultural and political factors in obstructing women's access to legislative power, such as the prevalence of traditional gender stereotypes, electoral systems, and the absence of a feminist movement. Yet, the role of women political elites in enhancing...

In this paper, we propose a theoretical model to study the effect of income insecurity of parents and offspring on the child's residential choice. Parents are partially altruistic toward their children and will provide financial help to an independent child when her income is low relative to the parents'. We find that children of more altruistic pa...

This paper presents a methodological framework for assessing the quality of democracy in the European Union from a gender perspective. The methodology was developed in the context of a broader project that aims to derive a set of empirical indicators of democratic performance for the European Union, being undertaken within the EU funded project Rec...

The move from communism to liberal democracy in east central Europe (ECE) has resulted in women being left behind in these transition processes. Women continue to be disproportionally affected by cuts in employment, are more likely to be employed in the less dynamic services sector, and are more at risk of poverty than men.2 In political participat...

This article discusses women's political representation in Central and Eastern Europe in the fifteen years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the adop-tion of liberal democratic political systems in the region. It highlights the deep-seated gender stereotypes that define women primarily as wives and mothers, with electoral politics seen as an ap...
