Gender Gender and Sustainable Development: Policy and Practice in Environmental Management Swedish development cooperation has led the way in spearheading gender equality in its environmental policies in international settings. Domestic environment policies in Sweden, on the other hand, have had little in the way of a gender perspective. We analyze why and how issues of gender are framed differently by civil servants in different Swedish government organizations.
Gender 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.
Gender Women’s Entrepreneurship: For a living country-side? Many of the new rural enterprises are owned and/or run by women. In order to stimulate rural development, more knowledge about the women's entrepreneurship is needed. Enterprising that remains invisible can neither be valued nor supported. This research project aims at making these women's enterprises visible.
