Dr Fiona Jenkins kicked off the 2013 Gender Institute seminar series, Women in Academia, on June 3 with a discussion of recent developments in the conceptualisation of gender inequity within academia in the context of her co-edited book Women in Philosophy: What Needs to Change? (OUP, forthcoming 2013).

• A podcast of this event is now available here; it includes an introduction to the series by organiser Dr Joanna Sikora.
• The powerpoint slideshow used in this seminar is also available via this link.

The 2013 Gender Institute seminar series, 'Women in academia': Are women in academia affected by subtle micro-inequities, which accumulate over time and eventually form powerful barriers to their career advancement? Is the academic workplace of the 21st century a fair playing field?  Is the ANU succeeding in effectively supporting women's career progression or are there issues in need of discussion? The Gender Institute invites everyone interested in women's career progression to join a new seminar series devoted to these topics. We are keen to bring together researchers on the gender gap in academic career progression, or who look at issues such as equitable promotion policies, implicit bias, or structural disadvantage.
