Understanding and addressing everyday sexism in Australian universities

Aim

This project aims to improve the ways in which gender-based discrimination is understood and addressed in Australian universities.

Methods

The project employs a situated, intersectional and creative approach to researching everyday sexism. It expects to use an innovative approach to generate new knowledge about everyday sexism at the individual level and across disciplinary and university contexts.

Significance

Expected outcomes include new gender equity practices that will assist universities to refine current programs, strategies, and policies capable of eliminating gender-based discrimination. This should provide significant benefits for Australian society, including women and gender diverse people working in universities.
