"Only when the institutional memory of the university takes up the material and immaterial legacy of its female researchers, inscribes it again and again in the practices of remembrance and keeps it alive through critical discourse, can the young female academics teaching today actually be shown role models who are visible and remain visible."
Anne G. Kosfeld, Central Equal Opportunities Officer

From the study to the lecture theatre
Oldenburg women scientists through the ages
The historical-biographical travelling exhibition "From the Scholar's Room to the Lecture Hall. Oldenburg women scientists through the ages" is a tribute to the pioneers of academic careers: Personal objects, documents and texts are used to visualise unusual and impressive career paths that had to be fought for and often shaped without female role models.
"Women's issues...?!" Science & equal opportunities at the University of Oldenburg 1986-2009
What motivated female students, academics and staff at the University of Oldenburg in the 1980s and 1990s and what has changed in the meantime? Why are women still underrepresented in highly remunerated professorships - especially in the natural sciences?
