Being an ideal employee usually means availability whenever needed, continuous high motivation, boundless individual mobility and ultra-flexibility. The infrastructure surrounding us is optimized for that ideal. In the meantime, our lives are diverse.

So why do we stay in these structures, especially in academia? Is it helpful to group people and label them: worker/researcher/care person etc? Where are the obstacles in the (research) system? What is needed to overcome them? Or at the very least smooth them out?

Where does sustainable progress need gender perspective, which distinct part of gender perspective is it? And how are they connected to the system structures?

During this podium discussion we will investigate these questions. Please join us to contribute your unique perspective.
