"Women's issues...?!" Science & equal opportunities at the University of Oldenburg
"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."

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? The Equal Opportunities Office's exhibition addresses questions such as these by illustrating the changes in the advancement of women in a historical context: from the election of the first "women's representative" in 1987 to the principle of "gender mainstreaming" and the competition-oriented "equal opportunities offensive" of science organisations in the 21st century.
