SFY:N MARRASKUUN KESKUSTELUTILAISUUS
[Huom! Tavallisesta poiketen marraskuun esitelmätilaisuus järjestetään
englanniksi.]
TINT – Centre for Philosophy of Social Science (TINT), The Philosophical
Society of Finland (SFY) and The Association for Women and Feminist
Philosophers in Finland (NFY) present
Breaking the glass-ceiling: Gender in science and philosophy.
Over the last couple of decades the gender gap in academia has
significantly narrowed, yet the pace at which progress is taking place
is surprisingly slow. In philosophy, for example, it’s still very much
the case that while the proportions men and women are roughly equal
among undergraduate philosophy students, the number of men increases
disproportionally at the faculty level. Finnish academic philosophy is
no exception. What causes this gap to persist? Why do some fields fare
better than others? Which measures can we take to fill the gap? During
this event we bring together national and international experts to
address these and related questions with a particular focus on the
Finnish context. The event is sponsored by TINT in collaboration with
SFY and NFY.
The event will be held in Helsinki at Metsätalo, sali 1 / hall 1.
Entrance via Unioninkatu 40 or Fabianinkatu 39.
