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 - law professors and social
scientists - 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: "positive action" in theory and practice; the progress
of the EU Commission's strategy to integrate equal opportunity into
all Community policies and activities; the motives for promoting
women in Academia; the importance not only of setting targets but
of funding to achieve them; the extensive group of part-timers and
fixed-term employees at the margin of the traditional academic
career; the importance of creating a situation in Academia where
"woman excellence" shows; and the development of "marketable"
research disciplines embodied in private research institutes. With
its penetrating analysis of its subject - women in Academia in
Europe - 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.
