"This book compares perspectives on gender equality and diversity in Norway and Japan, focusing on family, education, media and technology, sexuality and reproduction, and literature as seen through a gendered lens. What can we learn from a comparison between two countries who stand in significant contrast to each other with respect to gender equality? Norway and Japan differ in terms of historical, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Most importantly, Japan lags far behind Norway when it comes to the World Economic Forum's Gender Gap Report. Rather than taking a narrow approach which takes as its starting point the assumption that Norway has so much "more" to offer in terms of gender equality, the authors attempt to show that a comparative perspective of two countries in the West and East can be of mutually benefit to both contexts in the advancement of gender equality. The interdisciplinary team of researchers contributing to this book cover a range of contemporary topics in gender equality and diversity including; fatherhood and masculinity, teaching and learning in Gender Studies education, cultural depictions of gender, technology, trans experiences and feminism. This unique collection is suitable for researchers and students in gender studies, sociology, Japan Studies and European Studies"--

Attraverso l'adozione del Piano di uguaglianza di genere, l'Università degli Studi di Cagliari si propone quale agente strategico di promozione del principio fondativo europeo della parità di genere, nella sua duplice veste di luogo di socializzazione volto al contrasto delle disuguaglianze e all'applicazione dei principi di equità della cittadinanza sostanziale, e di organizzazione lavorativa caratterizzata da diversità varie che possono tradursi in rischio di disuguaglianze nella distribuzione delle posizioni e nella progressione lungo i percorsi professionali. Il modo in cui la conoscenza scientifica viene generata, infatti, non è disgiunto dal sistema strutturale globale, che riproduce disuguaglianze di genere all'interno delle organizzazioni di ricerca. Un'attività di ricerca non libera da stereotipi di genere può alimentare discriminazioni e limitare le pari opportunità all'interno delle organizzazioni stesse. Il settore della ricerca e dell'istruzione universitaria e postuniversitaria ha una missione formativa peculiare, che rende necessarie azioni specifiche volte a superare i divari di genere. I Piani per l'uguaglianza di genere si inseriscono in questa ottica come strumenti chiave per generare cambiamenti strutturali nelle organizzazioni formative e conseguire il superamento dei divari tra uomini e donne. Il Piano di uguaglianza di genere di UNICA è stato sviluppato nell'ambito del progetto Horizon 2020 SUPERA. Through the adoption of the Gender Equality Plan, the University of Cagliari proposes itself as a strategic agent for the promotion of the European founding principle of gender equality, in its dual capacity as a place of socialization aimed at combating inequalities and applying the equity principles of substantive citizenship, and as a work organization characterized by diversities that can translate into the risk of inequalities in the distribution of positions and progression along professional paths. Indeed, the way scientific knowledge is generated is not disconnected from the overall structural system, which reproduces gender inequalities within research organizations. Research activity that is not free of gender stereotypes can fuel discrimination and limit equal opportunity within the organizations themselves. The undergraduate and postgraduate research and education sector has a distinctive educational mission, necessitating specific actions to overcome gender gaps. Gender Equality Plans fit into this view as key tools for generating structural changes in educational organizations and achieving the bridging of gender gaps. UNICA's Gender Equality Plan was developed under the Horizon 2020 project SUPERA.
