Gender equality and representation within and beyond the University of the Highlands and Islands

A book in celebration of International Women’s Day 2021

ByAlexandra WalkerCarolin Radtke

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Observed annually every 8th of March, International Women’s Day is held as a worldwide day of celebration, protest and, in some countries, as a national holiday. The annual University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) event to mark International Women’s Day, which first took place in 2018, sets out to explore and champion gender equality and representation in education, raise awareness and influence initiatives to support women working and studying in education, and champion gender equality and diversity in learning and teaching, curriculum design and other key aspects of academic work, practice and research. This book brings together a substantial collection of chapters based on or inspired by the themes, issues and challenges that were explored at the University of the Highlands and Islands celebration of International Women’s Day 2021. Drawing upon contributions from colleagues across the university, and with a foreword from external keynote speaker Dr Natalie Jester, the chapters put forth in this volume explore and reflect on gender representation and equality within dimensions that include: discipline related practice, teaching and research; in curriculum design and development; in supporting or leading the development of learning and teaching; and in relation to institutional gender equality policy, initiatives and interventions. While UHI provides a contextual lens for many although not all of the chapters presented, the book sets out to contend with a range of relevant issues that will resonate in other higher education institutions and within academia and academic research more widely.
