What Are the Explanations for the Leaky Pipeline?

28 November 2023

1:45 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.

Prof. Dr. Katja Rost, University of Zurich

In the fall/winter semester 2023, a series of interesting lectures will take place in Department A of the Mannheim Center for European Social Research.

In most European universities today, the overall share of bachelor’s degrees awarded to women is more than 50%, but for full professorships, this drops to about 25%. This phenomenon is called the leaky pipeline. The lecture will look at the explanations for this beyond gender norms, motherhood, implicit or explicit sexism, and tokenism.

The lecture will be held in English and online. Everyone interested is invited to attend. Participation is possible via this Zoom link.
