On November 14, the 13th State-wide Day of Gender Research Saxony-Anhalt took place under the title "Body - Gender - Gender. Interdisciplinary Perspectives". Dr. Monique Ritter and Bernadette Rohlf (TRAWOS) were represented together with Franziska Stauche (HS Mittweida)^. In the lecture "The male*-regulated place university: Facets of the (de)thematization of physicality of the female* Homo Academicus", the scientists analyzed the mechanisms of the omnipresent male-connoted standards in the academic system using selected interview quotes. Ritter, Stauche and Rohlf conduct research with different focuses on the underrepresentation of women in academic professions in STEM subjects (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, technology). The presentation and the subsequent discussion were able to show how the claim to objectivity and (gender) neutrality inherent in STEM subjects and the reference to performance as a supposedly gender-neutral benchmark not only makes the disadvantage of women in the system more invisible and reinforces it, but also leads to success and failure being individualized and not associated with patriarchal structures.
