To Stop Counting Bodies: New ideas for a gender equal forest sector
This project concerns how we can achieve gender equality in the forestry sector, focusing on SLU’s forestry courses and programmes. The idea is to develop more knowledge about what gender equality means to different groups instead of counting bodies. In this way, we want to challenge what gender equality within forestry actually means.
