Resistance to Implementing Gender Mainstreaming in EU Research Policy
Get PDFThe European Union (EU) officially committed to gender mainstreaming in the 1990s, fixing the principle in treaty articles, action programmes, and communications, and setting up institutional bodies and mechanisms to promote the incorporation of a gender perspective into policy making. However, the implementation has not reflected these official commitments, with gaps showing in the mainstreaming of gender into the EU's public policies (Bruno, Jacquot, and Mandin 2006; Mazey 2002; Rees 1998, 2005; Rubery 2002; Serrano Pascual and Behning 2001; Verloo 2001) and processes, such as the EU's enlargement to Central Eastern Europe (Bretherton 2001) or its constitution making (Lombardo 2005; Millns 2007)
Gender Mainstreaming and Resistance to Gender Training: A Framework for Studying Implementation
Get PDFResistance expressed by both organizations and participants in processes of gender training that are conducted to mainstream gender into policy-making poses a key challenge for gender mainstreaming. However, such resistance is relatively under-studied. This article explores resistance to gender training that emerges during the implementation of gender mainstreaming by determining the types and forms of resistance to gender training and by finding out just what this analysis of resistance tells us about the problems arising in the implementation of gender mainstreaming. We argue that analysing resistance to gender training-and identifying the types and forms of such resistance-can contribute to diagnosing problems in the implementation of mainstreaming and furthermore be used for improving this implementation. This study is based on data from participant observation in training processes and from the work conducted in two European research projects, QUING and TARGET, both of which debated the issue of gender training in expert meetings and forums made up of trainers, policy-makers, and academics. © 2013 © 2013 The Nordic Association for Women's Studies and Gender Research
D7.3 Topical training and train‐the‐facilitators session concepts and contents
No full textThis document contains the Topical training and train‐the‐facilitators session concepts and contents (D7.3) and has been compiled by the WP7 leader Yellow Window (YW). It is an output of Task 7.2 ‐ Development and delivery of adequate capacity‐building and training activities (M4‐M42) and presents the concepts and contents of the in‐person train‐the‐facilitators’ trainings delivered at consortium level. The training contents are presented in the form of detailed scripts, used by the trainers to deliver the capacity‐building activities, and including practical guidance about how to interact with trainees and which supporting material to use
Resistance to implementing gender mainstreaming in EU research policy
No full textIn this article, we analyze the implementation of gender mainstreaming in the European Union (EU) through the study of ‘resistance’ to gender equality initiatives in EU research policy. Contributing to feminist institutionalist theories, we identify resistance to gender initiatives within the Directorate General Research and Innovation, showing that there have been obstacles to an effective implementation of gender mainstreaming in the European Commission’s 6th Framework Programme (FP6). We argue that the encountered resistances reveal tensions between the European Commission’s official mandate of mainstreaming gender equality into all policies and its actual implementation, which results in the ‘filtering out’ of transformative gender equality goal

D7.1 Checklist and Instructions for gender training needs assessment
No full textThis document is the Checklist and instructions for gender training needs assessment (D7.1) developed under task 7.1 by WP7 leader Yellow Window. With a view to effectively identify partners’ needs in terms of training and capacity building, to be summarized in the Consolidated training needs assessment (D7.2), the deliverable presents a self-assessment instrument (checklist), allowing each implementing partner to identify available capabilities at the level of its organization, in terms of knowledge and skills, for carrying out structural change. The WP leader will further draw upon this self-assessment, to assess which capabilities need to be built or enhanced. This will strengthen partners in their efforts to implement changes towards gender equality and integrating a gender perspective in science. The deliverable comprises a presentation of the purpose and structure of the self-assessment tool, complemented by instructions for use and the MS Excel self-assessment tool that constitutes the actual instrument to be used by GEARING-Roles’ partners to perform their self- assessment
