This book explores gender norms and women's rights in the age of AI. The author examines how gender dynamics have evolved in the spheres of work, self-image and safety, and education, and how these might be reflected in current challenges in AI development. The book also explores opportunities in AI to address issues facing women, and how we might harness current technological developments for gender equality. Taking a narrative tone, the book is interwoven with stories and a reflection on the raising young children during the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes both expert and personal interviews to create a nuanced and multidimensional perspective on the state of women's rights and what might be done to move forward

Steinborn and Hauser discuss the number of women in leadership. The appointments of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, General Motors' CEO Mary Barra, and IMF managing director Christine Lagarde signify a trend toward increasing the number of women in leadership. Less obviously, they also reflect a new global awareness that sex and gender are paramount in the development of politics, economics, and society in the 21st century. Women are finally, slowly yet irrevocably, taking a lead role in realms that historically were toughest for them to penetrate, such as business and politics. Adapted from the source document.

"Während in den Sozialwissenschaften neue Forschungs- und Politikansätze zur umfassenden und integrativen Berücksichtigung von sozialer Vielfalt bereits seit geraumer Zeit erörtert werden, steht eine solche Diskussion im Kontext des Sports noch am Anfang. Forschungsaktivitäten und Programme zur Förderung von sozialer Integration setzen bislang überwiegend parallel zueinander bei einzelnen Dimensionen sozialer Vielfalt an, herausragende Bedeutung erhält dabei nach wie vor die Gender-Perspektive. Der Beitrag beleuchtet aus dem Blickwinkel der sportbezogenen Geschlechterforschung das mögliche Verhältnis von Gender und weiteren Kategorien sozialer Vielfalt, Im Fokus stehen hierbei zum einen die Entwicklungen der sportwissenschaftlichen Gender- und Ungleichheitsforschung und möglicher Erträge des Diversity-bezogenen Forschungsansatzes der Intersektionalität. Darauf aufbauend werden bisherige sportpolitische Maßnahmen des organisierten Sports zum Gender Mainstreaming und zur sozialen Integration in den Blick genommen und die Vor- und Nachteile des Ansatzes von Diversity Management im Sport diskutiert."

Women's political participation and representation vary dramatically within and between countries. We selectively review the literature on gender in politics, focusing on women's formal political participation. We discuss both traditional explanations for women's political participation and representation, such as the supply of women and the demand for women, and newer explanations such as the role of international actors and gender quotas. We also ask whether women are distinctive—does having more women in office make a difference to public policy? Throughout the review we demonstrate that a full understanding of women's political representation requires both deep knowledge of individual cases such as the United States and broad knowledge comparing women's participation across countries. We end with four recommended directions for future research: (a) globalizing theory and research, (b) expanding data collection, (c) remembering alternative forms of women's agency, and (d) addressing intersectionality.

Die Gender Studies sind eine umstrittene Disziplin. Was den einen die Vervielfältigung von Denkwegen ist, bedeutet den anderen ein Irrlaufen in der Sackgasse eines weiteren Modediskurses. Diese Anthologie fragt zehn Jahre nach dem Paradigmenwechsel von der Frauenforschung zu den Gender Studies nach aktuellen Themen und kursierenden Subjekt- und Politikbegriffen. Fragt nach, was die Beschäftigung mit Geschlechterverhältnissen statt mit Problemfeldern rund um "die" Frau bewirkt hat. Was hat sich verändert, was ist geblieben: Inhalte oder nur Formen? Was bedeutet eine Veränderung von Form und Rhetorik, kurz der Erscheinungsweise, wenn die Kritik eines essentialistischen Denkens zum Ausgangspunkt feministischer Rede erhoben wird?

Wie lassen sich Aspekte der Geschlechterforschung in die herkömmliche Hochschullehre integrieren, insbesondere in technisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Studiengängen? Die Autorinnen haben unterschiedliche Ansätze für Antworten entwickelt und praktisch erprobt. Ihre Überlegungen, Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse haben sie im vorliegenden Buch zusammengetragen. Die einzelnen Kapitel des Buches sind inhaltlich aufeinander bezogen, können aber in beliebiger Reihenfolge und unabhängig voneinander gelesen werden. Sie bieten grundsätzliche Überlegungen zu geschlechtergerechter Hochschuldidaktik und -lehre, machen Vorschläge zur konkreten Umsetzung und geben Einblick in den Zusammenhang zwischen der Kategorie Geschlecht und der Hochschullehre. Das Buch richtet sich an Hochschullehrende, DidaktikerInnen, Gleichstellungsbeauftragte, Verantwortliche für die Einrichtung und Akkreditierung von Studiengängen, aber auch an Studierende; an alle, die geschlechtergerechtes Handeln an Hochschulen verwirklichen wollen. Mit Zeichnungen von Dirk Stiefs und Fotos aus dem Hochschulalltag.

Gender constitutes a fundamental intersection of social power relations in processes of globalization. As such, it could be expected that gender should be a prominent focus in Global Studies which is concerned with issues of inequality and human progress. This article discusses how this engagement remains troubled in many regards and the possibilities for more focus on genderinto Global Studies. Specifically, the article draws on the experience of teaching an intensive course on 'Gendering Global Studies' and discusses the pedagogy of teaching gender and the various challenges arising from this. Specific attention is given to the attempt to establish an inclusive learning environment; a balancing of a wide range of perspectives, particularly masculinitiesresearch and a strong conceptual focus on intersectionality; and a discussion of how a gender focus impacts on method and research practice. The article contributes to overall discussions about the nature of Global Studies; but more importantly it also seeks to highlight some of the ongoing challenges and opportunities in gender teaching in social sciences, and to offer concretesuggestions and pathways for bringing in a gender focus into Global Studies teaching.

In recent decades, gender equality goals have been adopted widely in global policymaking, creating a demand for specialized knowledge and evidence to support the design and implementation of gender equality policies. Bridging feminist scholarship on gender expertise and practice–theoretical literature on knowledge production, this article examines a knowledge production initiative of the World Bank, the Gender Innovation Laboratories (GILs). While research has examined the position of gender experts and the content of gender expertise in global governance, it has overlooked how knowledge about gender is produced. In this paper, we use a practice–theoretical approach—assemblage thinking—to study the practical work mobilized in the GILs to produce, maintain, and disseminate knowledge about gender inequality. Drawing on interviews with lab researchers, documents, and online materials, and focusing on the epistemic practice of impact evaluations, our analysis demonstrates the work invested in assembling them, such as forging alignments with and securing support among stakeholders, activating repertoires of expertise, and translating results into material objects. These practices produce gender inequality as a governance object, which is amenable to technical policy interventions, which facilitates certain forms of action to address it. Yet, they simultaneously silence more political solutions to gender inequalities.
